Gornji Kosinj

Gornji Kosinj sits at 499 meters above sea level in Lika-Senj County, with 92 residents spread across 14 square kilometers of territory.

The settlement dates back to medieval times when it belonged to Kosinjski princes from the Stupić family and first appeared in records in 1461.

The Baroque parish church of St. Anthony of Padua stands as the central religious structure in this small Croatian mountain community.

The settlement operates under postal code 53202 and functions within the Central European Time Zone, following standard UTC+01:00 and daylight saving UTC+02:00.

Local residents face relocation due to the construction of a hydroelectric project, which will transform the landscape of the entire Kosinj valley.
