Crkva Gospe Snježne u Vidu

Crkva Gospe Snježne u Vidu

 

Na mjestu današnje župne crkve Gospe od snijega u Vidu do početka 20. stoljeća nalazila se crkvica posvećena sv. Mariji koja je vjerojatno potjecala iz kasnog srednjeg vijeka. Gradnja današnje crkve započela je godine 1935. prema projektu uglednog danskog arhitekta i konzervatora Eynara Dyggvea. Projekt je do šezdesetih godina 20. stoljeća, kada je gradnja dovršena, više puta izmijenjen, ali je ipak crkva zadržala većinu izvornog izgleda kao što je izrazit utjecaj starohrvatske predromaničke sakralne arhitekture, pogotovo raščlanjivanje vanjskih zidova i apside lezenama te podjela unutrašnjosti na tri broda, a zvonik je izgrađen prema nacrtu Đene Hamzić. Na pročelju crkve nalazi se kamena rozeta koja vjerojatno potječe od ranije crkve te niša u kojoj se nalazi brončani kip Blažene Djevice Marije, rad poznate hrvatske suvremene kiparice Marije Ujević Galetović.

The Church of Our Lady of Snow in Vid

 

At the place of today’s parish church of Our Lady of Snow in Vid, until the start of the 20th century, there was a small church dedicated to Virgin Mary, probably originating from the late Middle Ages. The construction of today’s church started in 1935 according to the design of Eynar Dyggve, an eminent Danish architect and conservator. Until the 1960s, when the building was completed, the design was changed several times but the church kept most of its original appearance such as the expressed influence of the old Croatian pre-Romanesque sacral architecture, in particular the breakdown of external walls and the apse by buttresses and the breakdown of the interior into three naves, while the bell tower was built according to the drawing of Đena Hamzić. At the front of the church, there is the stone rosette, which probably dates back to the earlier church and the niches in which there is the bronze sculpture of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the work of the famous Croatian contemporary sculptor Marija Ujević Galetović.
