Kamičak Castle, Castle ruin in Drniš, Croatia.

The stone fortification stands at 95 meters elevation above the Krka River, positioned between Visovac Lake and Roški Slap waterfall.

Records from 1345 document King Ludovik I of Angevin confirming the castle's ownership to Ivan II Nelipić, whose family controlled it since the 11th century.

The castle holds connections to Cardinal Juraj Utješinović, who was born within its walls in 1482 during the period of his father's ownership.

Visitors can reach the medieval ruins by following marked trails through the Krka National Park, with free access to explore the fortification remains.

Local traditions suggest that Petar Svačić, the final king of independent Croatia, was born in this castle before his death in the battle of Gvozd Mountain.
