history

Novska was first mentioned in 1334 as "Bjelavina".

The church of Sv. Demetrius was built on the spot where the Church of St. Luke the Evangelist now stands. This was mentioned for the first time in 1489. Until the invasion of Turkish troops, the Novska area belonged to Countess Katarina Svetačka. Then Kristofor Svetački II became a Turkish vassal . After he realized that he could not keep his property, he gave his fortresses to the sultans , including Novska, which the family had built in 1532. The fortresses were built back then to protect themselves from Turkish troops. Luka Ilić Oriovčanin testifies to the existence of these fortresses. It is said that the fortress stood south of today's Radnička ulica .

The Novska region was owned by the Svetački family for 450 years; it is first passed down from 1231. During their campaign, the Turks conquered the most famous fortification, the largest fortress in the area, the Kraljeva Velika . This village is now near Lipovljani , 9 km from Novska.

Novska was part of Austria-Hungary until 1918 . Since 1881 Novska belonged to the Požega county in the autonomous kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia (at that time also called Poschegg in German ). After the First World War , the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes declared itself independent.
