Kazbek, summer castle, ever since it was built in 1573 by the noble family Zamanja, had a violent history. It was burned and demolished by Russian-Montenegrin forces in 1806. During the Second World War Italian invaders used it as a prison for Croatian war prisoners. After the war it was confiscated by the Yugoslav communists and used as a school and storage. Throughout the centuries and all valuable parts were destroyed and the castle suffered badly due to mismanagement. When Croatia became an independent state Kazbek was returned to its private owners and since than has changed several owners till today’s owner decided to restore it and return it to glamorous state it deserves.
