Vitunjska Gradina
The village of Vitunj is located west of Ogulin, near the source of the Vitunjčica River, a tributary of the Dobra.
It is certain that the Vitunj fortress existed in the first half of the 15th century, and based on its architectural style, it is assumed to date back to the 13th century, as there are no written records about the structure. It was first mentioned in 1449 as the property of the Frankopans. In 1575, the fortress was abandoned, and its defensive role was taken over by Ogulin.
Today, the ruins of the Vitunj fortress remain preserved, still dominating the surrounding landscape.
Vitunj is a medieval fortress located on a hard-to-reach high rocky cliff beneath Mount Klek, on top of a hill above the village of Vitunj, eight kilometers northwest of Ogulin. It consisted of a square-shaped core with a palace and a defensive tower, as well as a fortified suburb, of which the semicircular tower is the best preserved. The fortress was surrounded by a protective moat, and in the central courtyard there was a well. It was first mentioned in 1449, when, through the division of the Frankopan estates, it was granted to Stjepan II. King Matthias Corvinus confirmed the possession in 1481 for him and his son Bernardin. By around 1575, the fortress had already been abandoned.
