Sadilovac is an uninhabited settlement in the Kordun region of Croatia, in the municipality of Rakovica, Karlovac County.
History
The village of Sadilovac was established in the 18th century as evidenced by the arrangement of houses along the road and the church situated at the entrance of the settlement.[2]
Culture
Orthodox church, built in 1826, was burnt down by Ustaše on 31 July 1942. The reconstruction of the church, which only started in 1989 and included reconstruction of the roof and installation of two new bells, has never been fully completed due to the 1991-1995 war.
The memorial plaque with the names of 463 civilian victims of the Sadilovac massacre of 1942, engraved in stone, is kept inside the church. The remains of the victims are buried next to the church.[3]
The Sadilovac Orthodox Parish, which belongs to the Eparchy of Gornji Karlovac, includes the villages of Drežnik, Smoljanac (Lika), Grabovac, Lipovača, Sadilovac, Irinovac (Lika), Vaganac (Lika) i Korana.
