I – INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to Article 2, paragraph 1 of the Law on the Implementation of the Decisions of the Commission to Preserve National Monuments, established pursuant to Annex 8 of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a “National Monument” is an item of public property proclaimed by the Commission to Preserve National Monuments to be a National Monument pursuant to Articles V and VI of Annex 8 of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina  and property entered on the Provisional List of National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Official Gazette of  BiH no. 33/02) until the Commission reaches a final decision on its status, as to which there is no time limit and regardless of whether a petition for the property in question has been submitted or not.

The Commission to Preserve National Monuments issued a Decision to add the historic ensemble of the old fort in Bosanska Krupa to the Provisional List of National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina, numbered as 107.

Pursuant to the provisions of the law, the Commission proceeded to carry out the procedure for reaching a final decision to designate the Property as a National Monument, pursuant to Article V para. 4 of Annex 8 and Article 35 of the Rules of Procedure of the Commission to Preserve National Monuments.

 

II – PROCEDURE PRIOR TO DECISION

In the procedure preceding the adoption of a final decision to proclaim the property a national monument, the following documentation was inspected:

-          Documentation on the location and current owner and user of the property (copy of cadastral plan and copy of land register entry)

-          Historical, architectural and other documentary material on the property, as set out in the bibliography forming part of this Decision.

 

The findings based on the review of the above documentation and the condition of the property are as follows:

 

1. Details of the property

Location

The old fort in Bosanska Krupa is on the left bank of the Una, and developed along with the urban fabric, since the very centre of the civilian settlement developed below it. The Una flows through Krupa from west to north-east and around the town to the west. At the entrance to the narrowest part of the čaršija the Catholic church abuts onto the rocky prominence on which the fortifications stand; just beside the church is the road leading up to the fort.                                                                         

Historical information

Archaeological investigations in 1966, limited to the extent needed for conservation purposes, and the material found at the time were insufficient to provide an exact date for the construction of the fort in Bosanska Krupa. The fort is referred to by the name Krupa towards the end of the 13th century, during the rule of the Blagaj Babonić princes.

Krupa, along with Ostrošac, was taken from the family by King Sigismund, as he recorded in a charter issued on 25 August 1395 to princes Stjepan and Nikola of Blagaj, “in order to protect the Kingdom of Slavonia, exposed to frequent attacks by the Bosnians, if agreement is not reached with them soon,” and undertaking to restore the forts to them in the near future.  However, King Sigismund allocated both forts to Vuk Vukčić as part of his struggle to win the Bosnian crown.  In a campaign against Bosnia and Herceg Hrvoja in late September and early October 1405, Sigismund led his army to Bihać, which he took. On his return to Hungary on 16 October 1405 he paused near the Krupa fortress, which he intended to take, but was prevented from doing so by Lord Našica together with the Ottomans and Bosnians. By February 1406 there was already a royal castellan in the fort of Ostrošac, whereas Krupa was restored to the Hungarian king in 1406, in circumstances that have not been identified (Lovrenović, D, 2006, 78-79, 127, n. 55).

As a royal holding, the fort was originally run by the župans (lords of the county) of Zagreb as castellans, and later by the Counts of Celje (in Styria, present-day Slovenia) from 1429 to 1456 (Lovrenović, D, 2006, 234), followed by the Frankopan princes. Since Krupa was a royal holding, and only mortgaged, in 1464 the Frankopans returned it to King Matthias Corvinus on the basis of a separate agreement, and subject to compensation. To defend the region from Ottoman attack, King Matthias created two chains of forts spaced along the frontiers. Krupa belonged to the second chain, which consisted of the forts between Timosoara through Hungary and the Sava (Dubica), Krupa, Otočac and Bihać to Senj (Lovrenović, D, 2006, 385). The forts of Krupa and Obrovac on the Una, along with a number of other forts in Croatia, went to the Senj captains, who had their own castellans in the frontier forts. On the death of King Matthias, pursuant to an agreement between King Vladislav and the son of King Matthias duke Ivaniš Corvinus dated 1490, Ivaniš acquired the banate of Croatia and several royal towns including Krupa, Obrovac on the Una, and Japra. Ivaniš Corvinus often spent time in Bihać and Krupa between 1495 and 1498, when he bestowed the town of Krupa on his daughter Elizabeta. After his death the forts on the border with Ottoman territory were again taken over by the royal authorities. In the early 16th century Krupa was run by captains, after which it belonged to the state chancellery of Cardina Tomo Bakrač, who entrusted it in 1520 to ban (governor) Ivan Karlović, who in turn held it until his death in 1531.

After Karlović’s death, in line with an inheritance agreemenet between Karlović and the princes of Zrinj, the latter inherited the fort and held it until it fell to the Ottomans in 1565.

Krupa is an exposed site, with no significant natural defences. From 1509 on the Ottomans attacked it on several occasions. It came under heavy attack in 1522 and 1523, when the Ottomans besieged Krupa and pounded it with artillery fire for four months. In 1529 they again made preparations to take Krupa, and the following year they laid waste its surroundings. On the death of Ivan Karlović in 1531, the princes of Zrinj had great difficulty holding on to their properties in this area. The garrison in the Krupa fortress was under the command of the Bihać captain. According to a report by the supreme frontier commander General Ivan Lenković, Krupa had only forty soldiers who were not receiving any regular pay.

On 4 June 1565 the Bosnian pasha Mustafa Sokolović reached Krupa with a strong Ottoman detachment. The defenders of the Krupa fort lacked any signifricant military backup other than the troops of captain Kronšal of Bihać.  After just a few days, on 16 June 1565, more Ottoman troops reached Krupa. On 21 June a large army arrived, commanded by Count Auersperg, who had 7,000 men at his disposal, but did not embark on open engagement with the well-equipped Ottoman troops and soon withdrew towards Ostrožac. On 23 June the small company of men defending Krupa, commanded by Matija Bakić, who had been holding out against the siege, decided to penetrate among the Ottoman troops, but was soon overcome.

To the Ottomans, Krupa was an important stronghold for further conquests to the north and west, which was why it was important for them to take Bihać and the surrounding fortresses in the Krajina (frontier region). The commanders of Krupa were dizdars (fortress commanders) and captains. Until the second half of the 18th century the dizdars and captains of Krupa were from the Badanjković (Badnjević) family. In 1577 the Ottoman troops in Krupa numbered 300 cavalrymen and 400 infantrymen. Between the conquest of Krupa and the 1699 Treaty of Karlowitz, there were frequent battles between Austrian and Ottoman troops. The Austrians laid siege to Krupa in 1581 and 1692. The fighting ended with the Treaty of Karlowitz and the reinforcement of the borders.  The last major attack by Austrian troops follows in 1716, and was associated with the battle of Banja Luka. Krupa did not fall, but its surroundings were laid waste and burned (Lopašić, 1943, 162-177; Kreševljaković, 1953, 35).

In the second half of the 16th century the Ottomans concentrated on and succeeded in conquering the forts and towns in the Bihać frontier region. On being conquered, the towns on the right bank of the Una, from Krupa northwards, were incorporated into the Bosnian sandžak. When Bihać was taken in 1592 and the Ottomans began restoring order, they founded the Bihać sandžak. Although the oldest reliable reference to this sandžak is in a document dating from 1620, it was probably founded some time after the fall of Bihać in 1592 and 1620. The second reference to the Bihać sandžak is in a Veneto-Dalmatian description of the Bosnian pashaluk in 1624-1626 (Šabanović, 1982, 82-84). The major towns of the sandžak were Bihać, Kamengrad, Ripač, Cazin, Bužim, Ostrožac and Krupa. The headquarters were in Bihać or, at times, in Krupa.  It seems that the Bihać sandžak was abolished in the mid 17th century. It was reestablished at the end of the same century. In the 18th century the Bihać sandžak was one of five in the Bosnian pashaluk, but in 1711 it was finally and conclusively abolished. It was divided into kadiluks (Šabanović, 1982, 85, 230). The Bihać kadiluk was probably founded just after the fall of Bihać in 1592, though the earliest reference to it is in 1619. This kadiluk contained the towns of gradovi Bihać, Izačić, Sokol, Ripač, and others.  In the 17th century there is one reference to Krupa and Ripač as separate kadiluks (Šabanović, 1982, 181, 228, 230). Under the administrative disposition of the Bosnian pashaluk in the 19th century, until 1865 the murdirluci (counties) of Bihać and Krupa with Bužim were in the Bihać kajmakamluk (district). After that the Bosnian vilayet was restored as a single province with seven sandžaks or livas. One of these was the Bihać sandžak. The kajmakam (district prefect) had his headquarters in the central town of the sandžak, which was divided into kazas (kadiluks) headed by mudirs, based in the main town of the kaza. The Bihać sandžak consisted of the kazas of Bihać, Petrovac, Ostrožac (headquartered in Cazin), Kostajnica, Stari Majdan, Prijedor, Krupa and Ključ (Šabanović, 1982, 233-234).

According to an inventory conducted in 1833 the fortress in Krupa (in the Kamengrad kadiluk), was well supplied with arms and ammunition, including 14 cannon of various calibre, 3300 barrels of gunpowder (66 chest), 60 oke (1 oke=3 lbs) of lead ingots, 4 oke of tampon fuses, and quantities of cramps, shovels and axes (Kreševljaković, 1952, 178).

 

2. Description of the property

The entire complex is located on the summit of a rocky hillock between the čaršija to the east and the right bank of the river Una to the west and north-west. A wooden footbridge at the foot of the hill leads from the čaršija to the left bank of the Una. Immediately to the north of the Catholic church a gently sloping path winds its way up the hill to the Lower Fort.

The old fort in Krupa was initially in the form of a Gothic fort with a strong keep (tower A), a courtyard guarded by two more towers (B and C), and a bailey to the south and east. To the north-west and north the fort lies on the steep, rocky side of the hill. There was a fosse below the fort to the east, outside the entrance ramparts. The fortified town was entered via a bridge over the fosse. There were also towers at the south-east and north-east corners of these ramparts. This was the fort as Kuripešić found it on his journeyings in 1530.

            Soundings were taken in 1973-74 and it was found that during the 16th to the 17th century the extent of the fortifications and the system of defences were modified, in response to incursions and the development of firearms. In 1565 the Ottomans took Krupa and transformed it, as time passed, into a strong artillery fort with two major cannot emplacements as the stronghold for further conquests on the right bank of the Una. The courtyard of the upper fort was filled in.  The keep was demolished and its building materials scattered around the courtyard. A cannon emplacement 1.8 m wide with an opening for the cannon was found by the north ramparts west of tower B. The ground level of the mediaeval fort was about 2.5 m lower than the present level. The remains of houses dating from the Ottoman period were found by the north rampart at a depth of 1 to 1.3 m. It is likely that the area of the Upper Fort was earthed up at least two occasions, using material from the site itself, since the deposits were full of mediaeval pottery. The towers and ramparts were also lowered. The topmost deposits were quite recent.

In 1895 walls were built in the fort and the site was levelled to make a parking place. The fort lost its original physiognomy. The retaining walls were earthed up to the top with rubble and soil.

The fort in Krupa consists of the Lower and Upper Forts. The Lower Fort is in fact the former bailey of the mediaeval fortifications. Truhelka found the faint traces of the rectangular gatehouse; these can no longer be made out. The ramparts of the Lower Fort surround the Upper Fort to the east as a whole, and to the north and south as far as below tower C. The north rampart, or rather its retaining wall, can be reached now only at the north-east corner. The rest of the retaining wall on that side is concealed under dense overgrowth, while houses have been built on the lower periment, by the prominence on which the fort stands. The south rampart of the Lower Fort consists in fact of two large bastions to the south-east and south-west of the wall, between which is a zigzag rampart. The other sides consist of the remains of retaining walls, also zigzag. Two cannon of no great age have been mounted at the south-west and south-east edges.

The Upper Fort is about 35 m long and about 20 m wide including buttresses (as measured on the outside). The eastern part of the fort is wider (about 14 m on the inside), narrowing towards the west (tower C).  Where the retaining walls change direction the Upper Fort is divided into an eastern and a western part, of equal length. The entrance to the fort is in the northern half of the east rampart, by the keep (tower B).  Rebuilt stone steps lead to the entrance. The entrance to the Upper Fort is in the ramparts, and is arched. Below the entrance is a largish arched niche. Tower A (measuring 7 x 5 m on the outside) stands at the south-east corner, and tower B, which has an oval footprint and has survived to a height of about 15 m, stands at the north-east corner. The eastern part of the Upper Fort has been entirely partitioned into separate areas linked by three entrances. The western part of the fort also contains the remains of walls, the exact purpose of which cannot be identified. Below tower A is a massive semicircular buttress, while at the point where the south rampart changes direction premises D have been built on. Both additions were probably designed to diminish artillery fire power. The south rampart was particularly exposed to fire from the left bank of the Una, but it was also possible to aim effectively from the fort at the area across the Una. Tower C at the top of the fort was later converted into a bastion with lower walls. This tower is about 8 m in diameter, with an entrance about 3 m wide.

Much of the ramparts of the Upper Fort were reduced in height and adapted for cannon fire, while the keep, tower B, is the only tall structure to survive. It matches the height of the other ramparts, since it was built at a lower level.

            The fort had a stone plaque with an inscription referring to the conquest of Krupa during the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent, in 1565.

            Lopašić recorded a translation of the inscription on another stone plaque, built into the fort, which remained there until 1884: “On the 11th of the month of Dhu l-Qa’dah, year 1198 [1 August 1783], during the reign of Emperor Abdul Hamid Khan and the viziership of Silihdar Abdalah pasha in Bosnia, thanks to the skills of Nuri beg the Krupa fort was restored to the very picture of heatlh” (Lopašić, 1942, 268, n. 290; Kreševljaković, 1953, 35).

 

3. Legal status to date

The ruins of the old fort in Bosanska Krupa were recorded as a monument but no decision to protect it was issued by the Republican Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments and Natural Rarities.

The Regional Plan of Bosnia and Herzegovina to 2000, Stage B, Natural and Culturo-Historical Values, compiled in 1980, listed the old fort in Bosanska Krupa as a Category II monument.

The property is on the Provisional List of National Monuments of the Commission to Preserve National Monuments as no. 107 under the heading Bosanska Krupa - old fort.

 

4. Research and conservation and restoration works

In 1966, conservation works were carried out on the old Krupa fort on the Una by experts from the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of BiH.

In 1973-1976, experts from the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of BiH conducted archaeological investigations in the Upper Fort, the conservation and restoration works required were identified, and the works were carried out. The south rampart of the Lower Fort was restored, as was much of the eastern half of the Upper Fort and the massive buttress below tower A and the area below the south rampart of the Upper Fort (marked on the plan as area D), as well as parts of the towers and ramparts. During these works a fair quantity of minor archaeological artifacts was found: cannon balls, pottery vessels and stoves. Of particular interest is part of a maiolica plate, an import from Italy.

           

5. Current condition of the property

            During an on site inspection conducted in August 2007 it was found that the entire fortifications complex, despite having been converted, is in a relatively good state of preservation.  To the north, on the rocky hill on which the fortress stands, the foundations are being dug for new buildings. The rest of the northern part of the Lower Fort is densely overgrown.      

The revetments of the ramparts are falling away in places, leaving gaps. In places the tops of the ramparts are breaking away, particular on the lower ramparts in the north-western part of the fort, which visitors climb over. Benches have been installed in several places in the fortress. There are rubbish bins beside some of the benches, but they are not much used. The fortifications have been fitted with lighting. The lower part of the fort is used as a parking place. The railing by the steps leading to the entrance to the Upper Fort is falling apart gradually.

 

6. Specific risks to which the property is exposed

-          Climatic factors

-          Inadequate maintenance, reflected in the lush overgrowth around and on the ramparts, and in the stone falling away from parts of the revetments of the ramparts

-          Future planning of the use of the property

-          The construction of houses by the fortress.
