Brlog degree
Brlog-Grad was a count's castle on a hill above the right, southern bank of the Kupa about 1 km west of Kamanje ( Croatia ) on the Karlovac - Metlika railway line . Today only small remnants of the once magnificent baroque building remain. The castle was largely demolished around 1893 and the rest was converted into a residential building.
history
Brlog Castle, first mentioned in 1544, with the associated court, came to the counts in 1544 from the Frankopans through the marriage in 1543 of Nikola Šubić Zrinski , Ban of Croatia , with Katarina Frankopan, daughter of Christoph Frankopan , former Ban of Croatia the Zrinski . Nikola Zrinski enfeoffed Ivan Dovolić with the castle and the surrounding estates. From 1640 to 1670 the castle was again owned by the Zrinski. Then the entire property of the Zrinski family was confiscated because of Petar Zrinski's participation in the Zrinski-Frankopan conspiracy against the emperor and Hungarian-Croatian king Leopold I and administered by General Johann Joseph von Herberstein on behalf of the king. In 1679 it was bought by the commander of the Croatian Horsemen in the life guard of the Saxon Elector Johann Georg II , Count Janko Peranski († 1689), for 19,000 forints. In 1713, General Count Josef Discounta zu Dornberg attempted to acquire Peranski's estate, but only succeeded in a court-ordered auction in 1722 because of a legal dispute brought by Sigismund Škrlec . In the same year he sold the property for 14,000 florins to Count Ernst Lovrina Paradeiser .
Expansion to a baroque palace
In 1740, Count Benvenuto von Petazzi di San Servolo bought the complex from Paradeiser's heirs for 14,000 guilders. Petazzi was a colonel , came from the Žumberak area and also owned the fortified town of Ribnik ; he became a general in 1746. Petazzi had the property extensively rebuilt and expanded in the east and south-east and turned the former estate into an almost new baroque palace with a botanical garden. This conversion was completed in 1756 with the construction of the chapel.
After Petazzi's death in December 1784, he was inherited by his daughter Anna Maria, who married the castle to the Counts of Keglević . They sold it to Filip Aleksandar Šuflaj from Samobor in 1838 . After his death in 1882 it came to the noble Laszowski family through inheritance from his daughter. The Croatian historian and archivist Emilij Laszowski (1868–1949), Filip Aleksandar Šuflaj's grandson, was born on Brlog-Grad; the society "Brothers of the Croatian Dragon", of which he was the founder, put a plaque in his honor above the portal that has been preserved from the house where he was born.
Partial termination
In 1893 the Laszowski family were forced to sell the castle to a local farmer because of gambling debts of some family members. He had a part rebuilt for his needs and the rest demolished. Today, therefore, only a small part of the old building is visible; only the cellar dungeon is still well preserved.
