Srednjovjekovna gotička crkva nedaleko od sela Toranj kod Pakraca spomenik je hrvatske kulturne baštine.
The medieval gothic church near the village of Tower at Pakrac is a monument of Croatian cultural heritage.
HR:
Riječ je o autentičnoj gotičkoj crkvi koja pripada građevinama centralnog tipa. Nepoznanica je kome je crkva izvorno bila posvećena, a danas nosi naziv sv. Pantelejmona koji je dobila u postturskom razdoblju.
Sagrađena je u kasnogotičkom stilu u 15 stoljeću. Tlocrt je pravilan trolist (djetelina) kojemu se može opisati, ali i upisati kružnica s istostranačnim trokutom, dok se svod sastoji od tri polukupole poduprijete s tri rebra. Tlocrt i svod su dvije stvari po kojima se ova crkva razlikuje od ostalih srednjovjekovnih crkava u Hrvatskoj i Srednjoj Europi.
Pretpostavlja se da je selo Toranj dobilo ime upravo po ovoj crkvi koja izdaleka zaista sliči tornju.
EN:
This is an authentic gothic church building belonging to the central type. Unknown to whom the church was originally dedicated, today it bears the name of St. Pantelejmon that was given in the post turkish period.
It was built in the late gothic style in the 15th century. The floor plan is proper trefoil (clover), a vault consists of three semidome backed up with three ribs. Layout and the vault are two things on which this church sets apart from other medieval churches in Croatia and Central Europe.
It is assumed that the village Tower was named after this church that actually resembles a tower from a far.
