    Arrow "Kerestinec" castle/prison

    Kerestinec is a settlement west of Zagreb, infamous for certain important events in Croatian history.

    The castle was built in the 16. century by the Hungarian Count family Erdody. During the World War II. it was used as a concentration camp by the local fascist movement called “Ustashe” where they kept members of the Antifascist movement.

    An interesting fact is that when the prisoners found out that their destiny is sealed arranged an escape , most of the 92 prisoners were shoot at sight or arrested, 13 of them managed to escape. Escape happened on the night from 13 to 14 July 1941. Ognjen Prica, Otokar Kersovani, August Cesarec were just some of the noticeable prisoners kept in Kerestinec.

    Some would say that that hole in the ceiling is not accessible. We found some hand made ladders on the roof and a metal beam so we managed to climb up Sure was an adventure

    A serious place well captured-that spiral staircase must be the most lightweight one ever made!
