WELCOME TO
Heritage hotel Frankopan
The hotel is located in the centre of Ogulin, the centre of continental Croatia with the tourist area of Plitvice Lakes on the east, the wooded Gorski Kotar on the west, and the Northern Adriatic on the south.
We are located next to the old Frankopan castle from the 16th century built by the noble family Frankopan. Opposite the hotel, you can find Đula’s abyss, a hydrogeological monument of nature, where the river Dobra disappears under rocky cliffs in the enormous chasm in the city centre. The view from the cliff leaves many tourists breathless. Đula’s abyss, together with the Medvednica cave, creates the longest speleological object in Croatia. The name of the abyss is related to the legend of the girl Đula or Zulejka, who fell into the abyss because of unrequited love.
Above Ogulin is the mountain Klek, which is 1,182 m high. It is one of the most attractive and popular mountaineering destinations in Croatia, topped by a 200 m high rocky head that is the cradle of Croatian mountaineering and alpinism. Klek has always spurred people’s imagination, so the legend of the witches of Klek was created. According to the legend, during stormy nights, witches, fairies, and elves from all over the world gather on Klek around midnight.
The building of the Hotel Frankopan was originally built in the 18th century for administrative purposes, and at the end of the 19th century, it was converted into a hotel and catering space. The hotel has urban, architectural, and historical-artistic features, and two Ogulin residents, Milan Ceranić and Milan Rupčić, completely renovated the hotel in the summer of 2007. It is categorised as a four-star hotel, and in December 2017 the hotel received a new category of heritage hotel from the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Croatia.
The hotel is valued as a protected cultural asset of national importance, and the facility is located in the A historical zone of the historical-urban ensemble of the town of Ogulin.
