Killary Harbour, nestled between counties Mayo and Galway, is one of three glacial fjords that exist in Ireland today. Navigate the rugged and dramatic landscape of Connemara, with its blanket bogs and dazzling beaches, by walking on the so-called Green Road, which runs alongside the fjiord. Alternatively, you can go on a boat tour and enjoy the majestic views. There's a chance you might spot seals and dolphins.

As Marian devotions grew and many prayers got answered by seeking intercession of Saint Mary of Bistrica, the shrine’s church became tight and too small so Bistrica’s parish priest Juraj Žerjavić had the church and the parish house with arcades extended and reconstructed following the designs of architect Friedrich von Schmidt and his student Hermann Bollé. The new church was built in Neo-Renaissance style.

According to the written tradition, a Francis-can monk named Joakim Balagović brought Our Lady’s statue from the Holy Land in 1669 as a gift for his brother Nikola who lived just by the road at Trški vrh.

Nikola then put it in the hollow walnut tree near his house and that’s where the first worshiping of the statue began.
