Description
The Church of St. Archangel Michael was built in the 9th or 10th century on St. Michael's Hill near Brnazi. A fragment of the choir-screen is preserved and shows the inscription: "INDIGNVS PECATOR FIERI R[ogavi?] ... [t]EMPORE DOM[ni]." This inscription is interpreted in such a way that the church was founded by the Croatian rulers who used the term Domnus as title. The church was destroyed during the Mongol invasion in the year 1242.
