Early gothic church was built at the begin of 13th. ct. on the place of romanic church from 12th century. in Gora. Gora was an important centre of Knigts Templar , so the church was built by French masons. Local stone was used. In that times, Gora was in the mideval Kaikavian kingdom of Slavonica or Slovenski orsag. 

This early gotich church is unique in Croatia. It can be comapred only with similar churches in France, and with a church in Slovenian Špitalič, which was also built by French. It has an older romanic layer, from which are e.g. the fragments with Palmetto motive, that can be found in churches of St. Mary in Zadar, on island of Krk and in Hungary, a phenomenon that tells us about the cultural circle in which they were built.

Gothic church in Gora was renovated in Baroque style after the area was free from Turks in 18th century, but this Baroque rebuild did not introduce any special value. During the defence war against Serbs in the 1990s it was destroyed and burnt by Serbian Chetniks. The destruction revealed Gothic ruins. Because of its unique worth it was decided to restore the church in its original early Gothic phase. Architects and archeologists had all the needed details and elements for the renovation - like walls, windows, heights of walls and size of windows. 
The result is that church is as much as possible identical in its interior and exterior to the original early Gothic church, with few functional compromises. For that, original material was used wherever possible. Only the entering portal could not be defined 100%, but it was made in the same style and like it is usual for other such churches, within the scope.

In the end, we got a fantastic and functional restauration of a fantstic church in Gora!
