The Pauline Church Sveti Petar u Šumi and its architectural impacts in Istria

Dosadašnje spoznaje o srednjoeuropskim osobinama pavlinske crkve sv. Petra i Pavla u Svetom Petru u Šumi (1755.) autor proširuje zapažanjima što upućuju i na jadransku graditeljsku tradiciju. Potom pokazuje kako su se u izgradnji obližnjih župnih crkava u Kringi (1768.) i Tinjanu (1773.) koristila arhitektonska iskustva ostvarena pavlinskom crkvom.Having built a new church of Saint Peter and Paul for their monastery in Sveti Petar u Šumi in 1755, the Pauline monks introduced central-European Baroque architectural features to Istria. This type of architecture was based on the use of the so-called Wandpfilers (wall pilasters) which separated the chapels from the galleries above them and provided support for the stone barrel vault. However, architectural plasticity also reflected the Adriatic building tradition, especially in the use of beams (architrave, friezes and cornices), which separated the vertical walls from the concave vault. There were also not any niches for either chapels or galleries. Soon after the completion of the Pauline Church, two parish churches with similar architectonic characteristics were constructed in two near-by villages, Kringa and Tinjan, in 1768 and in 1773 respectively. The building construction of the church in Kringa was also based on the use of Wandpfeilers. However, the construction works were discontinued at one point so the church was completed according to the 1882 plans. The church in Tinjan shows somewhat greater modifications of the original model, especially in terms of the system of its construction. The chapels are not so deeply intersected, there are no Wandpfeilers, and the barrel vault is wooden
