The Church of Saints Eusebius and Polion (Croatian: Crkva svetih Euzebija i Poliona) is a Roman Catholic church in Vinkovci, Croatia.

History

The church was built from 1772 till 1777.[1]

It was severely damaged during the Croatian War of Independence. On 20 November 1991, shelling by the Yugoslav People's Army and Serbian paramilitaries caused the spire to catch fire, destroying the church bells. The spire eventually completely crashed, and the pictures of its destruction became a symbol of the battle of Vinkovci.[2]

From 1994 till 1998 the church was renovated. In 1999 was completed renovation of spire.
