Abstract

The medieval Zelingrad is the most representative witness of the Zelinsko prigorje region's eventful and tempestuous history in the Middle Ages. It was built in the 13th century and was a major factor in the events taking place in the said region during the four centuries to follow, and especially during the Ottoman accessing. The well-known Bičkele and Kerečenji families reign in Zelingrad, and for a certain period of time it had been in the possession of the Croatian-Hungarian king Ivan Zapolja.

For nearly four centuries the town pined as a ruin in the silence of the centennial forests until it was saved from oblivion at the beginning of the 21st century by the Sveti Ivan Zelina Museum. Systematic archeological research and conservation work have been conducted during the past eight years. The town's outer appearance has changed completely. The project for Croatian history revival has provided it with a new life.
