Ruin
Kamičak Castle
🇭🇷 Croatia · 14th century
Kamičak Castle ([Kamichak]; Croatian: Utvrda Kamičak, in old sources Kamichech, Kamichach, Kamichack, Camichach) is a ruined medieval fortified structure on a rock at the top of the hill above the Krka River in the Krka National Park, Croatia. It is situated not far from the Brištane village in the administrative area of the Town of Drniš, Šibenik-Knin County. Located between the Visovac Lake and Roški Slap waterfall, it perks up like an eagle in unreachable eagle's nest on the edge of a cliff. Once property of the powerful Nelipić noble family, the castle was captured and destroyed in 1522/23 by the Ottoman invaders, never to be rebuilt.
