Križevci female guard

The only female historical unit in the world that has its roots in July 1848, when Ban Josip Jelačić was guarded by girls from Križevci, a native of Križevci who stood at the entrance to the bishop’s court. They stood conscious of their duty at the door, and in their gentle hands gleamed a deadly weapon. The Križevci Girl’s Guard successfully represents Križevci by participating in numerous events across the country and abroad.
