Abstract

The article deals with the history of construction and renovations, as well as the interior design of the Nova Kraljevica castle. Based on archival sources and in-situ findings, the author has defined the architectural history of the castle starting from the construction for the Zrinski family in the 17th century, renovations for army barracks, hospital and monastery in the 18th and 19th centuries, to the present day. Abundant archival documentation helps gain insight into the castle's original 17th-century features, and detect changes it underwent in the later period. The article also discusses the original function of individual rooms, and various elements of the interior design, including their original location.
