    Castle Grobnik

    October 6, 2021 in Croatia ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

    If you guessed that this might be another Frankapan castle, you would be right. The fortification of this site dates to at least the 10th century, though the structure here now dates to the 15th century. Much of the castle is not restored or is under construction. So there isn't that much to see. However, this site is historically important. It is one of the castles that fortified Europe against the invading Ottomans. It overlooks the Grobnik field where a major battle was fought during that time.
