Abstract

An important part of the Roman Catholic culture surely is its musical heritage which is a priceless treasure, whose infallible segment are the pipe organs. The Milan Council of 1287 defined the pipe organs as the elite musical instrument of the Christian West and allowed them as the only instrument in liturgy. Entering into the sacred area, the pipe organs became the instrument which is most commonly and precisely mentioned, shown and documented. The paper describes the historical development and the typology of the pipe organ fund in the area of Hrvatsko Zagorje from the middle of the 17th century up to the present.
