Sažetak
The castle of Krčingrad is located on the Kozjak hillfort, a wooded peninsula located between Kozjačko and Gradinsko lakes. Little is known about the history of Krčingrad, due to a lack of preserved written sources. On the basis of archaeological research and interdisciplinary contextualization of historical data, it is possible to connect its construction at the turn of the 13th century with the powerful Babonić counts. The castle of Krčingrad was a way for one of the most influential noble families in Slavonia in the Late Middle Ages to show their power. It is assumed that Krčingrad was abandoned at the beginning of the 14th century due to political changes in the kingdom, and left to gradually decline. During 1911 and 1912, E. Laszowski conducted archaeological research on the castle of Krčingrad, as evidenced by extensive documentation preserved in the Croatian State Archives. Despite not being an archaeologist, Laszowski showed an exceptional understanding of the methodology of archaeological research, which can be considered as another confirmation of his affiliation with the Croatian intellectual elite at the turn of the 19th century.
