Roman Catholic Church of Saint Catherine[edit]

Roman Catholic parish in Divuša was firstly mentioned in 1271 as a local parish under the Order of Cistercians Abbey in Topusko.[5] The first church of Saint Stephen was mentioned in canonical visitations in 1334, and the wooden church of Saint Catherine was constructed in 1699.[5] The church was burned in a battle in 1737 and the current church was constructed in 1748-1750 period.[5] The church got its current shape in 1805.[5] It was destroyed by Serb forces and Yugoslav People's Army in 1991 during the Croatian War of Independence when the village was a part of self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina, and was reconstructed once again after the end of war.[5]
