Novigrad na Dobri, Medieval fortress in Netretić, Croatia
The stone ruins of Novigrad na Dobri stand on a forested hill above the Dobra River with defensive walls forming an irregular pentagon shape.
The Frankopan noble family acquired the fortress in the 14th century, transforming it from a defensive structure into a residence that later hosted Emperor Joseph II in 1783.
The Regional Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments registered the fortress as a national heritage site in 1969, marking its architectural and historical worth.
Visitors can access the reconstructed southern tower, which now functions as an observation point offering views of the surrounding landscape and river.
The Novigrad Bridge crossing the Dobra River dates to 1558, making it one of the oldest river crossings documented in Croatian historical records.
