Lovrečina grad In the immediate vicinity of Vrbovec there are many cultural and historic monuments worth seeing. Lovrečina grad is a castle only 4 km away from Vrbovec along the road to Križevci. In Middle Ages it was a fortress surrounded by a ditch. Written documents first mention it in 1540. In the 16th c. it was held by the Gregorians and later changed many proprietors. The castle has a U shape with two cylindrical angle towers. It was reconstructed in the mid 19th c. in historicism style. Today it is the home of the Sisters of Mercy. In Lovrečka Varoš, a settlement 5 km north of Vrbovec, a single nave church of St Lawrence featuring late baroque elements can be seen. The Baroque style pulpit in the shape of ‘Jonah’s fish’ is extremely interesting because such motif is rather unusual in Croatian churches. Dubrava, 12 km southeast of Vrbovec, in the Middle Ages used to be a fortified bishop’s town, with 9 towers and a wide ditch around it. This is where Ivan Zapolja was proclaimed in 1527 a Croatian king. All fortifications were destroyed by the Turks in 1552. You should also see the late Gothic parish church of St Margaret with a steeple on the side. The church was reconstructed in the Baroque style in the 18th century. It was probably first built in 1269, but the Turks burnt it down with the rest of the village in 1552. When the whole village was rebuilt between 1595 and 1606 the church was rebuilt, too. In Gradec, 6 km northeast of Vrbovec there is a late Baroque parish church of the Wounded Christ (around 1780). In Pogančec, 9 km northwest of Vrbovec you’ll see the church of St Mary of Laureto that was probably completed in 1790 – judgeing from the year inscribed on the door. In the village of Pogančec, Preseka municipality, the chapel was built in 1758 and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a valuable cultural monument and as such under the protection of Regional Institute of Ancient Monuments from Zagreb.

Lovrečina grad U neposrednoj blizini Vrbovca vrijedni su kulturno-povijesni spomenici koje svakako vrijedi pogledati. Lovrečina grad, dvorac je udaljen od Vrbovca četiri kilometra, uz cestu prema Križevcima. U srednjem vijeku bila je to nizinska utvrda opkoljena jarkom (otuda ime Lovrečina grad). U dokumentima se prvi puta spominje 1540. godine. U XVI. stoljeću držali su je Gregorijanci, a poslije je često mijenjala vlasnike. Dvorac ima tlocrt u obliku slova U s cilindričnim kulama na dvama uglovima. Dograđen je i pregrađen sredinom XIX. stoljeća u duhu historicizma. U vlasništvu je časnih Sestara milosrdnica sv. Vinka Paulskog, koje su u novije vrijeme dvorac i posjed ustupile na korištenje zajednici Cenacolo, komuni liječenih ovisnika. U Lovrečkoj Varoši, naselju udaljenom pet kilometara sjeverno od Vrbovca, današnja jednobrodna župna crkva sv. Lovre ima obilježja kasnog baroka. Ističe se barokna propovjedaonica u obliku “Jonine ribe”, što je u nas ikonografski osamljen motiv. U naselju Dubrava, 12 kilometara jugoistočno od Vrbovca, u srednjem je vijeku bio biskupski grad, utvrđen zidom, s devet kula i ovećim jarkom. Tu je 1527. godine održan sabor na kojem je Ivan Zapolja izabran za hrvatskoga kralja. Sve su utvrde 1552. godine razorili Turci. U Dubravi je vrijedno vidjeti kasnogotičku župnu crkvu sv. Margarete, s visokim zvonikom po strani, koja je barokizirana u XVIII. stoljeću. Ta je župna crkva najvjerojatnije sagrađena već 1269. godine, ali su je Turci 1552. godine spalili zajedno s mjestom, pa kada je između 1595. i 1606. godine obnovljena Dubrava, obnovljena je i župna crkva. U Gradecu, šest kilometara sjeveroistočno od Vrbovca, kasnobarokna je župna crkva Ranjenog Isusa (iz razdoblja oko 1780. godine). U Pogančecu, devet kilometara sjeverozapadno od Vrbovca, nalazi se crkva Marije Lauretanske, koja je, sudeći po datumu upisanom na vratima, završena vjerojatno 1790. godine. U selu Pogančec, općina Preseka, podignuta je 1758. godine kapela posvećena Blaženoj djevici Mariji. Vrijedan je spomenik kulture, pa je pod zaštitom Regionalnog konzervatorskog zavoda u Zagrebu.
