Top 5 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Karlovac County, Central Croatia

Congratulations! You have just found the Katzler Pavilion, the smallest tourist mega-center in the world, a gift-shop, museum, gallery, vault of Karlovac culture and history, and the favorite meeting place of the locals. All in one place. Its interior can hold several thousand people… carefully allocated throughout the year. A group of five can completely fit inside the interior only if they come with a smile. At the entrance to the Karlovac Star there is a small green house with an unusual name – the Katzler Pavilion. Let it be the marker of entrance and exit from the old center. No, we do not charge for entry into the Star. Nor for exiting. Today Karlovac’s great history is framed in small windows of the Katzler Pavilion, and the interior hides items, photographs and documents which are a part of the mosaic showing the town’s image.

The Main town square has a votive column - the Plague Pillar - with a Madonna statue on top, built after the epidemic of plague at the end of 17th century. It has the ornaments that represent the town rivers.

This is a popular street of Karlovac which connects two rivers, Kupa and Korana. This charming old street with picturesque architectire features traditional craftsmen houses, the baroque mansions, unique fire lanes, wooden doors, fences with ornaments and iron signs.

This church is a known landmark of the town, with two towers that make a familiar postcard sight. Its patron saint St. Nicholas is the patron of sailors and river sailing. The church is located on the square of Ban Josip Jelačić and it is the only one Orthodox church in Karlovac.
