POI BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Description of the POI
Ozalj Castle was built and upgraded through different periods and each gave its character to this valuable building. It is a valuable cultural and historical heritage of the continental part of Croatia and an attractive destination for many visitors. The existence of the walls dates from the VI. century, but the beginning of the construction of today's building can be placed in the XIII. century when it is mentioned in written sources.
The entire castle consists of an entrance tower, a smaller tower on the left side of the entrance tower, the main defensive tower, the south, east and north city wings (all three wings are large buildings on two floors) and the so-called "Zrinski Palace" or "granary".
List of owners through history: Bela IV, the Babonić family, bans Mikac Prodavić and numerous castellans, the Frankopani and Zrinski families, the administration of the Hungarian Chamber and the Inner Austrian Chamber, Counts Petazzi, the Perlas family, Counts Batthyány, the Thurn and Taxis family and The Brethren of the Croatian Dragon.
