Abstract
The paper presents the results of interdisciplinary research into the cultural and historical activity of the Pauline monastery of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Osip near Novi Vinodolski from its foundation around 1453 to the abolition of the order in 1786. The research is based on the material kept in the archives in Zagreb (Archive of Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the State Archive in Zagreb). The text analyses economic activity of the monastery, in addition to give an overview of architecture of its complex structure. The year of foundation was the debate in Croatian historiography; foundation charter analysed in the text suggests that the greatest concern on the activity of the monastery was conducted by Count Martin IV Frankapan of Krk. After his period of extensive care, the monastery was the subject of many devastations, one by the Ottomans in 1527 and twice by the Venetians in 1598 and 1615. However, the monastery was again rebuilt and the church was mended. The demise of the monastery coincided with the abolition of the Order in Croatia in 1786. However, preserved fragments of sacral architecture, and written heritage testify on the contribution of the monastery to Croatian cultural heritage.
