Ostražec Castle dates back to the medieval period, built during the 14th century as part of a defensive network designed to protect the kingdom from external threats. The exact origins of the castle are shrouded in mystery, with some historians suggesting it was constructed during the reign of the Bosnian Banate, a time when Bosnia was establishing its independence and strengthening its defences against both Hungarian and Ottoman expansion.The castle’s strategic location on a hill provided a commanding view of the surrounding valleys and rivers, making it an ideal lookout point for potential invaders.
