Grižane Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Vinodol, Croatia.
The stone castle displays rectangular foundations with circular towers positioned strategically along its walls, adapting to the uneven terrain of the region.
Built around 1300 by the Frankopan family, the castle sustained substantial damage during an earthquake in 1323, marking a turning point in its structural integrity.
The castle holds numerous medieval artifacts and Glagolitic inscriptions that demonstrate the architectural and written heritage of the Vinodol region.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following marked paths from Grižane-Belgrad village, with guided tours available through the local tourism office.
The castle's position on limestone cliffs creates distinct architectural features, where the walls merge seamlessly with the natural rock formations.
