BRINJ BURG AND ITS CHAPEL

Zorislav Horvat

Abstract

Early in the 15th century, Nikola IV, prince of Krk, built a stately burg in Brinj. The burg is planned polygonally, with a chapel, defence tower and comfortable living quarters. These features are very similar to Krakowec Burg in Bohemia and certain other Czech towns dating from the late 14th century, The best preserved building is a two-story chapel, with a polygonal nave and details similar to those in »The Colum Hall« (Sloupova syn) on Hradčani in Prague and on several buildings done by Petar Parler. The style of both burg and chapel ascribes them to builders associated with the Prague court workshop of king Waclaw IV. Later, during 16th and 17th century the fortification was added to, because of the war with Turks.
