Okić Castle

Klake, Croatia

Okić Castle, located on a steep hill in Klake, Croatia, was first mentioned in historical records in 1193 but is believed to have existed even earlier during the time of Croatia's first sovereigns.

The castle was owned by the prominent Frankopan family from 1416 until 1470 when it was given to the king. It played a significant defensive role in protecting the region during medieval times. The castle today is mostly in ruins, though the entrance and chapel remain partially preserved. Folklore surrounds Okić, with legends of heroic defenders and tales of supernatural occurrences.

The castle is set amidst forested hills, offering scenic views and historical insight into Croatia's medieval past, including stories of bravery and local lore that have been passed down through generations. It remains a cultural symbol and a popular hiking destination, commemorated in part by a trail named after Illyrian writer Dragojla Jarnević, who famously climbed the castle barefoot in the 19th century.
