Dobra kuća Fortress, Medieval castle ruin in Đulovac, Croatia.
Dobra kuća Fortress is a medieval stone structure in Đulovac built on elevated ground with walls that still stand today. The remaining stonework reveals how people constructed defensive buildings during that era.
The fortress was built around 1400 and served as a defensive stronghold in the region. In 1542 Ottoman forces took control and established a garrison there.
The fortress holds protected status in the Register of Cultural Goods of Croatia, representing the medieval architectural heritage of the region.
The site is accessible on foot by following marked paths from Đulovac. The elevated location requires some climbing but rewards visitors with views of the surrounding area.
The name means Good House, yet the structure was built as a military fortress for surveillance and defense. This naming choice contrasts strikingly with its original purpose.
