Cesargrad, Medieval castle ruins in Klanjec, Croatia
The stone fortress stands at 471 meters elevation on Cesargrad Hill, overlooking the Sutla River and the border between Croatia and Slovenia.
King Sigismund granted Cesargrad to Count Herman of Celje in 1399, marking the beginning of documented ownership and strategic control of the region.
The castle represents medieval Croatian architecture, incorporating elements from different periods including renaissance castles and early baroque palace designs.
The fortress extends 225 meters in length and features defensive walls measuring 730 centimeters in thickness, making it one of Croatia's largest castles.
During the Great Peasants' Revolt of 1573, rebels captured and burned the castle, leading to subsequent restoration by the Erdödy family.
