Stari grad Slunj

Nice landmark, beautiful for hiking and walking

This place is simple amazing
I felt so good and relax the sound of the water relaxes me while I was drinking coffee and walking , each corner is breath taken.

If you are professional photographer you can explore this place for a calendar photo album.
Highly recommend it to walk this place

Present look of fortress Slunj is a result of recent reconstruction and still is a building site. Although it looks like a big ruin and in need of reconstruction much is so far done. On the walls it can be seen a difference in colours, very bright stones are new and darker stones are amount of few walls that were standing before reconstruction. Building was reconstructed in the height of two stories, all the windows are reconstructed. Piles of stones in front of the fortress is building material for further reconstruction. Hope that work will resume and that visitors would have more content( like info tables, reconstructed rooms in the fort with items and history of this important site) and reasons to stop here and visit Slunj.

Marvelous placing and a common kind of castle.
All thanks for the brave man who deffended it and the land around it: many valuable seeing has been preserved.
Sadly did not had the chance to take a closer look.

The whole village is beautiful. We cant go to the ruins.

Perfect example of true beauty of nature

Very nice

Cool spot. River close by for a swim

Magnificent food

Like a fairytale

Beautiful place

Great to visit Old Town Slunj !!

Jednostavno, prekrasno! Stari grad svakako preperučujem šetnjicu.

Lijepo i mirno mjesto, opuštajuća šetnja uz Slunjčicu i obilazak starog grada. Bilo bi lijepo da se nakon završetka radova može ući u unutrašnjost starog grada jer zanimljivo je vidjeti i taj dio..

Il paradiso all'improvviso. Appena passata Slunj ci troviamo sulla sinistra Rastoke e sulla destra questo meraviglioso scorcio con un castello Ottomano in ristrutturazione e due antichi mulini scendendo di poco il fiume. Consiglio trekking per girare il fiume che è una cosa splendida.

Suddenly heaven. Just past Slunj we find Rastoke on the left and this wonderful glimpse on the right with an Ottoman castle under renovation and two ancient mills just down the river. I recommend trekking to go around the river which is a wonderful thing.

So schön gelegen, wird zum Teil restauriert, oberhalb der Festung ein kleiner Stellplatz mit Duschen, Toilette, Frischwasser und Entsorgung sowie Grill Möglichkeit.

Чудове місце, багато кафе, гарний краєвид

Stari utvrđeni srednjovjekovni grad Slunj prvi put se spominje 1323., kada je hrvatsko-ugarski kralj Karlo I. Robert darovao župu Drežnik sa Slunjom Dujmu knezu Krčkom, budućem Frankopanu. Smatra se da je već tada ondje postojala utvrda.
Pavao Zrinski je od 1390. kraće vrijeme bio vlasnikom Slunja, da bi Slunj kasnije opet prešao u ruke Frankopana. Na temelju podjele naslijeđenih obiteljskih dobara 1449., Slunj je postao sjedištem Frankopana Slunjskih sve do 1579., kada je izumrla ta loza Frankopana.
U sustav Vojne krajine Slunj je ušao 1579. zbog čestih turskih napada, a njezin kapetan bio je od 1579. senjski kapetan Petar Zrinski.
Od stare slunjske utvrde do danas očuvale su se dvokatne zidine, koje zatvaraju prostor s tlocrtom nepravilna šesterokuta. U zidine su nekada bile ugrađene četiri polukule, a uz njih je stajao i toranj.
U Slunju se u crkvi Presvetog Trojstva čuva nadgrobna ploča Jurja Frankopana iz 1553. s grbom Frank opanak
