The Croats and the Hungarians supported her to become the Queen of Austria, Hungary and Croatia. She ruled for 40 years (1740. – 1780.). Her son Josip II. ruled from 1780. – 1790.

Catholic population built the Church in 1714. The Church of the blessed name of Virgin Mary was consecrated in 1732. There was only one nave. After that it was expended. The first Chaplain was Matija Vucić (1706. – 1714.). The main altar was dedicated to Virgin Mary. Later in 1762 the tower was built with four bells which were 350 killos heavy. The biggest bell was 60 killos heavy. In 1754 there was a fenced graveyard around the Church.

In 1744, residents of Donja Varoš built a beautiful baroque chapel Saint Rocco. It is a votive Church. St. Rocco is a patron saint of plague.There was a monument built across the street which was also dedicated to plague. The house of Ignjat Kragujević was built the same year. It has been restored and now it’s a historical monument.
