The castle was built around 1500 above the gorge of the River Dobra – Ðula’s Abyss. The founder of the town was Bernardin Frankopan, one of the most powerful noblemen of his time.
It belongs to the period of Renaissance castles. The town walls surround the courtyard area on three sides, while on the fourth there is a three-storey building with towers at the edges. Its military significance and the position of the town of Ogulin required a well-fortified structure.
Today, the castle houses The County Museum of Ogulin.
