The most important pilgrimage church of Prekmurje consists of two buildings: the present three-aisled basilica was added in 1914 to the medieval old church covered with frescoes. Since 2007 it has been the central pilgrimage site of the Diocese of Murska Sobota.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The church is already mentioned in the 13th century, and the parish was founded in 1302. A Gothic nave was added to the Romanesque sanctuary in the 14th century, so the two periods are still clearly distinguishable in the old church.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The greatest treasure of the old church is the fresco cycle painted by Johannes Aquila in 1383. The master from Radkersburg also painted several other churches in the area \u2013 including those of Velem\u00e9r, Martjanci (M\u00e1rtonhely) and F\u00fcrstenfeld \u2013 and his paintings in Turni\u0161\u010de include scenes from the legend of Saint Ladislaus. The Hungarian Catholic Lexicon counts them among the outstanding monuments of the veneration of Saint Ladislaus in the western borderlands.<\/p>\n

Pilgrimages flourished after the Ottoman wars, in the first half of the 18th century, and Turni\u0161\u010de has remained the Marian shrine of the region ever since. The growing number of pilgrims made the 1914 extension necessary.<\/p>\n

Pilgrimage feast:<\/strong> The main pilgrimage is on the feast of the Assumption, 15 August.<\/p>\n

Visiting:<\/strong> Turni\u0161\u010de is a short drive from both Lendava and Murska Sobota. To see the frescoes of the old church \u2013 especially with a group \u2013 it is worth arranging a visit with the parish in advance.<\/p>\n
