| A long, deep-roofed, wooden-framed structure covered with wattles, plaster and some brick used in the ground floor, this building is thought to date from the 15th century. Sadly, the fate of so many historic buildings in this part of the world has befallen it: with multiple heirs, it’s almost impossible to reach consensus on required repairs and the result is catastrophic decay. Fortunately, the Croatian Restoration Institute has stepped in to undertake some emergency repairs, and it is to be hoped that the building will be saved in the long term. It is currently being used by one of the co-owners, well-known Croatian sculptor Mladen Mikulin, who has his studio here and has turned the garden into a sculpture park. |
