Sažetak
In this article, the authors have tried to pinpoint the actual fortification location of Novi Zrin stronghold, which existed in the period 1661 to 1664. Recent sources have confirmed and updated previous hypothesis that Novi Zrin stronghold had been built on the left bank of Mura river, nearby the confluence of Kanizsa and Mura tributary streams.
On 10 August 1664, a special king’s envoy Simon Reninger accepted the peace treaty inside the Turkish military camp, its Chapter 6 defining the following: “Neither side in the conflict is allowed to rebuild the above said fortification, located opposite Kanizsa, nor provide supplies to its military crew, as this stronghold might encourage further rebellion”.
This ended the war that had broken in 1663 for various reasons, one of them being the existence of Novi Zrin stronghold. The cause of war, casus belli, Novi Zrin had been built in 1661 on the left bank of Mura river, near the confluence of Kanizsa and Mura tributary streams, on the Turkish soil at the time. It was taken over by Turks on 30 June 1664, after a three-week siege and burnt to the ground on 7 July. It finally disappeared from the face of earth, even though further maps from early 18th century continued to mark it. There were numerous attempts later on to define the stronghold’s location and geographic position. However, those attempts were not accompanied with proper identification of certain recognition points on today’s location.
This article will be such an attempt, using graphics and satellite maps, in field research of the site. We hope this will contribute to success of future excavations.
