REVITALISATION OF ERDÖDY CASTLE IN JASTREBARSKO

Late Renaissance / early Baroque castle in Jastrebarsko is one of many northern Croatian castles without purpose. It is located in a park in the centre of town. Beside the castle as a part of circuit court there are also the park, granary and associated residential building which is currently inhabited. Its architectural value, and cultural and historical importance goes beyond local boundaries. In the context of the city and wider area options of revitalization and contemporary use are enormous. The castle was built in the late 15th century as a medieval feudal lowland (wasserburg), surrounded by ditches with water. The layout is that of a Renaissance castle type, so-called four-nave castle with internal courtyard. From the 16th century until 1922 the castle was owned by the Erdődy family. The biggest building changes in castle occurred in the 18th century when the former burg-castle was rebuilt and redecorated. Since 1936, the castle is owned by the town of Jastrebarsko. Since then castle has had different uses – it was an orphanage, military accommodation, local history museum, a restaurant (in a part of the castle), etc. Since 1980, the castle is without purpose, and it is in bad construction state. Initial exploration of historical features of the castle and reflection of possible contemporary use was conducted as part of the course Revitalization of Manors at Master course in architecture and urban planning at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Zagreb, under supervision of Prof. Mladen Obad Šćitaroci, Ph.D. The castle in the context of the city and its surroundings, its characteristics as a cultural heritage and the possibility of using from the tourist and economic point of view will be displayed on the poster. Proposal for revitalization program will be observed through the factors of identity, criteria for new interventions in the castle and circuit court in the functional and architectural sense, and through the models and scenarios for possible future use.
