DUBOVAC
Fortified manor on the northwestern part of Karlovac. The rectangular tower was likely erected in the 13th century for the Gorički and Babonić knights. In the 15th century, the walls and three cylindrical towers were built and Dubovac received the markings of a Renaissance manor. The owners were the Slavonian nobles Sudari (1387), the Frankopans (1442), the Zrinski (from 1544) and Gašpar Šubić Peranski (1576). From 1671 to the arrival of the French in 1809, the town was owned by the Karlovac Generals. In 1837, it was occupied by Count Laval Nugent, who renovated the manor in the Romantic style (crown on the tower and walls). The town was again renovated from 1952-1963 (architect Greta Jurišić) according to the plans of M. Stier from 1657 and the graphical illustration from the end of the 18th century.
