The Chapel of St Florian is a Baroque church in Varaždin. Before it was erected, a wooden church, which was built from 1669 to 1672, had stood in its place. After it had been demolished in 1733, a new church with a brick vault was built. The church also had a wooden tower. In the 70s of the 18th, century the chapel was intensively refurbished. In 1773, a crypt was built by a builder Jakov Erber and in 1775 a new sacristy was built. A new façade with a tower was built in 1777, which gave the chapel its present form. The convex façade is richly decorated with wreaths, pilasters and sculptures and it represents one of the most important works of the Baroque church architecture in Croatia. It was renovated by a local builder Ivan Adam Poch. The interior of the Church is decorated with stucco and wall paintings. Beneath today`s Historicist paintings, Baroque wall paintings with figural representations can be seen. The quality Baroque inventory consists of the main altar of St Florian (1740), side altars of St Lucia and St Apollonia (1740 and 1748) and a pulpit which was polychromed by Blaž Gruber, a painter from Varaždin, in 1743.
