The remains of the Late Gothic baroque chapel of St. The three kings are located in a prominent position on top of the Tkalci hill, northwest of Krapina. Until the recent self-collapse of the belfry at the beginning of 2009, the chapel dominated all characteristic views of Krapino. In the eighties of the 20th century, the chapel was still under the roof, and it consisted of a polygonal sanctuary and an equally wide elongated nave, and a bell tower on the south side. The original chapel built in the second half of the 16th century had an attached porch with stone columns. There used to be a cemetery next to the chapel. An interesting find of 2,000 silver and copper coins minted in the 15th and 16th centuries was recorded in 1980.

Since Sušec doesn't have a view, this is a nice place that makes up for it.
