POI BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Description of the POI
The old town of Ogulin was built around 1500 above the cliff of the canyon of the river Dobra - Đulas abyss. It was founded by the feudal lord Bernardin Frankopan. The fort consists of a three-story main palace building with two semicircular towers on the north and south sides, bordered on three sides by city walls. Simultaneously with the fort, the court chapel of St. Bernardine, in which the service of God was performed until the construction of the parish church of St. Of the Cross in 1785. The Ogulin fortress was never conquered, and after losing its military function, in 1865 it was transformed into the Prison of the Judicial Table. He lost his prison purpose at the end of World War II. Since 1967 it has housed the Ogulin Homeland Museum.
