With Katarina to the top

Welcome to my family’s estate!

My name is Ana Katarina Zrinski, born Frankopan. Both families /Zrinski and Frankopan/ consider me the best guide, because they love my books and say I’m a good storyteller. In addition, I love games and have prepared many brain teasers for you.

I’ll guide you through the rich past of Bakar. I know the old town well, because it used to be an important property of both of my families. Let’s start from the nearby church; it should be in your line of sight.

Church of St. Margaret

Take a good look at the church.

I don’t want to brag but I am very proud of the building erected in honor of St. Margaret (the patroness of Bakar). It has been in this town for centuries thanks to my family. My ancestor Martin had a chapel built in 1450 and dedicated it to St. Margaret. Two hundred years later, my beloved husband Petar Zrinski built a church in her honor on the same spot. Isn’t it beautiful?

If you have seen the church, let’s return to the Tourist Office and continue to the Castle, passing by the library and then up the stairs to the museum building. Here we’ll take a break.
