IX. Summary
The city of
Varaždin,
after Zagreb, is the largest city in northern
Croatia and represents the regional centre of the wide
Varaždin
region
which encompasses the whole
Međimurje,
upper (western)
Podravina
and northern part of
Hrvatsko zagorje
i.e.
Varaždin
and
Međimurje
counties. It is settled along the right (southern)
riverbank
of the River
Drava
on 16°20 eastern longitude and 46°18 northern latitude. During
its development
Varaždin
had always used its favourable river crossing
location and its favourable transport position in fact became one of the
basic factors in its development. Its specific geographic position within the
contact zone of the
Pannonia
and Alpine areas, during history assured the
city the function of a natural connection between
Styria,
Međimurje
and
Podravina
with the Adriatic. Thus it is often and with a reason called the
northern gate of Croatia.
Varaždin
represents meeting points of various
geographical units also in a micro-regional sense
-
as here the valley of
the
Drava
and
Varaždinsko-topličko gorje
(hills) and Macelj hills meet,
which gives the city competitive advantages provided by the fertile river
terraces of the
Drava
and north-facing Tertiary hills of the surrounding
peaks. Besides the geographical and transport position, the key factor of
Varaždins
development has always been its geo-political position. The
vicinity of the border, in the past with
Styria
and Hungary and today with
Slovenia and Hungary, along with its transport predisposition have had
an important role in its development.
Today the city of
Varaždin
over a surface of
59.45
km2 is composed
of ten settlements
-
Črnec Biškupečki, Donji Kućan, Gojanec, Gornji
Kućan, Hrašćica, Jalkovec, Kućan Marof, Poljana Biškupečka, Varaždin
and Zbelava, In
2001
there lived
49,075
inhabitants in this area of whom
41,434
lived in
Varaždin.
The
Varaždin
region, with
151
inhabitants/
km2, is the most densely populated region in Croatia.
Today the city of
Varaždin
is the centre of
Varaždin
County which
in a nodal-functional sense forms the northern part of Zagreb s macro-
region. Its powerful central functions significantly pass the borders of the
county, which turns it into an economic, cultural and educational centre
over the wider region. In
1965,
due to its exceptional cultural-historical
and environmental values,
Varaždins
Baroque city nucleus was protected
as an important historical-urban complex and recently the procedure for
candidacy for placing
Varaždin
on UNESCO s register of world heritage
was initiated.
The city of
Varaždin
was founded in the Middle Ages at the
point where former Roman roads crossed (see map on page
47).
The first
mention of the city was noted in
1181
in the charter of King
Bela
III
where it was mentioned as the seat of the mayor of
Varaždin
County who
resided in a fortified castle
-
a castrum. This means that even by that time
Varaždin
was a significant settlement whose roots could be found at the
beginning of the 12th century or even earlier. Along with its function as the
centre of the county which was a royal property, a special boost was given
to the development of the medieval
Varaždin
by the charter of Andrew
II of Hungary in
1209
when
Varaždin
received the status of a free royal
town
(33
years before Zagreb!)563 This charter excluded
Varaždin
from the
government of the royal county mayor and made
к
an autonomous town
with its own territory which was especially stimulating for the development
of trade and crafts. Thus, by the 13th century,
Varaždin
had become the
centre of significant local trade which attracted numerous foreign colonisers
(hospites). Hence from
1209
onwards (all the way to
1848),
Varaždin
was
composed of two juridical areas distinguished in legal and physical senses.
The first one was the fort (castrum) under the command of the royal county
mayor564 and the second
-
the free royal town with its own territory and
town administration (see map on page
52).

An important turning point in the status of the castrum came in
1397
when
Varaždins
castrum was given to Herman of
Celje
by King
Sigismund.
The castrum then became a feudal manor. Ibis was
the situation until
1848
when feudalism was abolished and the two jurisdictions were unified. Compare with CD,

VARAŽDIN
The castrum
with its function as the seat or the county mayor
was the administrative and political centre of
Varaždin
County as well as
an important fortified building also represented central defensive point
for a significant part of
Slavonia
over the centuries. The castrum also had
properties inhabited by its soldiers of the castrum (iobagiones
castri)
and
castrum serfs
(castrenses).
Thus in this sense the castrum was also the
economic seat of the estate56 . At the same time, in the Middle Ages, the
main central functions of the free royal town of
Varaždin
came from its
privilege from
1209
which enabled its inhabitants freedom from feudal
duties and in this way especially stimulated the development of trade and
crafts. The development of trade and crafts was additionally stimulated by
the good transport position of the city and by especially river transport.
The city port on the River
Drava
had already been mentioned in the
charter from
1209
and it had a key role in the development of the city
from its early beginning566. Alongside this, not later than the 14th century,
the free royal town of
Varaždin
had a strong church function as the centre
of the parish567 and archdeacon568 and church centrality was additional
stimulated by the presence of Franciscan Brothers who came to the town
between
1238
and
1281
and built a monastery there
(Budak,
1994;
72).
Thanks to the mentioned central functions, during the developing
Middle Ages and especially during the Late Middle Ages,
Varaždin
had
outstandingly strong urban functions which assured its position or the
second most important town in medieval
Slavonia,
immediately after
Zagreb.
The microlocation, as well as the inner structure of medieval
Varaždin
were conditioned by its transport position. Namely, the position
of
Varaždin s
medieval urban nucleus was determined by three roads
which connected
Styria
and Hungary i.e. Hungary and the Adriatic and
which met in the town. The routes of these three roads are also clearly
visible in the spatial spread of
Varaždin s
streets today. From the north¬
western side alongside the
Drava
towards
Varaždin
came the road which
connected
Styria
and
Slavonia
(Via
magna
per quam itur
ad TÌKOthoniam)
.
The route of the communication road dating from Antiquity in the area
of
Varaždin
overlapped with today s Optujska Road, Davorin
Trstenjak
Street and Baron Trenk Street. From this main road, in the area or the
crossroads of today s Davorin
Trstenjak
Street and Optujska Road the
road split southwards (Via
magna)
which followed the route or today s
Stanko
Vraz
Street and led towards Zagreb and further towards the
Adriatic. The third road came from the west following the route of
today s
Radić
Brothers Street (Via exercitualis) and spreading diagonally
towards the northeast intersecting the first two roads. The route of this
diagonal road is today preserved only at its starting point in today s
Radić
Brothers Street i.e. the exiting part of the route of Ivan
Kukuljević
Street while in the central part of the nucleus it was erased due to later
urbanisation. The area bordered by the three mentioned roads was the
area of the development of medieval
Varaždin
as a suburb of
Varaždin s
castrum. Taking into consideration the position of the mentioned roads
and localities of the oldest public buildings of medieval
Varaždin
from the
period of the 13th and 14th centuries, the diagonal road
-
Via exercitualis
most probably had the function of the main street and that east of the
crossroads with Via
magna
the suburb of
Varaždin s
castrum were created.
Medieval
Varaždin
in its early years had a form of vicus
—
a settlement
developed along an extended street-square system in a south-west
-
south-east direction following the route of Via exercitualis (see map on
page
254).
Such emergence of a primary settlement can be confirmed
by the position of the oldest buildings which had central functions. One
of the oldest sacral buildings in
Varaždin,
the Church of St. John and
a cemetery, was mentioned in 1238569 in the place of todays Franciscan
church. The Franciscan monastery was built alongside this church very
soon after and later here was built xenodochium
(domus hospitalis)570
and
all were built right alongside the Via exercitualis, more precisely along the
northern side of the concave square. Here it is important to mention the
significant diversion in direction of the parcel division of today s Franciscan
complex. Namely, today s church and monastery which were built on the
basis of the medieval monastery today are positioned diagonally from the
axis of the street which explicitly indicates traces of the diagonal direction
of the medieval Via exercitualis. The central place of the Via exercitualis in
the urban development of medieval
Varaždin
was also confirmed by the
location of the parish church built on the southern part of the funnel-
shaped square (alongside the church was the cemetery). Although in the
written sources of the Parish Church of St. Wenceslas was mentioned in
1334
for the first time (about
1454
the name of the church was changed
in St. Nicolas), its oldest archaeological layers originate from the 12th
century and most probably represent
Varaždin s
oldest church. North
from the funnel-shaped square the medieval castrum was built in the
12th-13th centuries with its entrance door facing north i.e. the River
Drava.
The bases of this castrum were founded below a quadrangle gothic tower
which represents the oldest preserved part of the
Varaždin
fort today (see
pictures on page
58).

IX. Summary
Due to the strong development of trade, crafts and financial
economy in general,
Varaždin
reached its peak during the 15th century.
The rise of the town influenced its urban building as well as an important
change of its inner structure. This was no more unfortified suburbs
gathered around a street square. It became a well organised town with
organised forts, a central square and a network of streets with defined
hierarchy and functional specialisations. The most dynamic medieval
period in the development of
Varaždin
started during the Counts of
Celje
who owned
Varaždin s
castrum from
1397
until
1456
when main
urban changes happened. It was right in the time of the Counts of
Celje
that
Varaždin
received the physiognomy and function of a developed
medieval town. During the 15th century
Varaždin s
castrum grew from a
standalone fort with palisades to a complex fortified system of four square
towers connected by earthen bulwarks. Namely, north from the old gothic
tower three new towers were built which were completely connected by
ramparts. In the time of the Counts of
Celje
the town (the free royal town)
began significant fortification. By
1454
palisades571 were mentioned and
in
1462
stone ramparts circled the town572 and two town gates, north and
south573. Inside the ramparts the civil settlement was significantly changed
(see map on page
255).
The building of the ramparts around the civil part
of the town which cut the main approaching roads to the town crucially
influenced the further development of the inner structure of
Varaždin.
The central concave square was narrowed by the building of ramparts
and gained the characteristics of a street-square (today s Franciscan
Square/
Franjevački trg)
and on its eastern edge a special square was
created
-
forum
publicum
(today s King Tomislav s Square) at the end
of the Middle Ages. Unlike the characteristically funnel-shaped form of
Varaždin s
main square, this new square with its rectangular ground plan
and central location represents a typical late medieval square. On this
square by the 15th century there was a defensive town tower alongside
which was the town hall (from
1523)
(King
Tomislav
Square
1).
So, in
the 16th century King
Tomislav
Square definitely took over the function
of the main towns square and Franciscan Square (former main square)
took position as a secondary square. At the same time the construction
of the northern and southern town gates directed development of the
town towards some of the less important streets which then received a
strong development boost. In this sense from the 15rh century onwards
today s
Ljudevit Gaj
Street received special importance which connected
the northern gates with the new town s square and which along with the
main town square became the most prestigious place for living. Along
the northern side of the ramparts the street of craftsmen and butchers
(today s
Bakačeva
Street) was created. In the southern part of the town,
by the building of the ramparts, the Parish Church of St. Nicolas was
just in front of the town s southern gate which later on conditioned the
creation of a small square (today s Liberty Square/Trg
slobode)
from
where two important streets divided
-
one passed in front of the church
leading to the town s gate towards the castrum and which had the key
role in the transport of post (todays
Janko
Draskovic Street) and the
second led from the town s gates along the back of the church towards the
main square and turned into the main trade street (todays Ivan
Gundulić
Street). These streets became the new frame of the town s development
during the oncoming centuries. The free royal town of
Varaždin
also
spread outside the ramparts and by the 15th century the existence of
further
Varaždin
suburbs was documented. Along the western approach
road, the old Via exercitualis (today s
Radić
Brothers Street)
platea Milich
later known as
Milički konec574
was mentioned. Along the main southern
approach road from the direction of Zagreb the settlement
oí
Longa
villa
or
Lange
gasse
(today s Zagreb Road) was created575, as an extension of
todays
Kukuljević
Street
platea na
Draviczi or Dravichky konecz
(Drava
end) was mentioned and along today s King
Krešimir
Street as the main
road towards east the
Poklečane
settlement was created576. In the area
of today s Optujska Road as the main approach road from the north¬
west direction the suburbs Slopanez and Cigleniza were mentioned and
in
1448
it was here that the annual
Varaždin
fair was held577. All these
mentioned suburbs were created as parts of
Varaždin s
urban tissue and
in a functional sense they depended on the town.
The turning point in the development of the town happened
in the 16th century. Ottoman intrusions who, by
1552,
had conquered
the whole of
Slavonia
all the way to the River
Čazma, Varaždin
found
itself very close to the Ottoman Empire s border. During this time the
Slavonian Military Border was created from
5
captaincies with their
centre in
Varaždin,
all with the aim of defending the rest of the territory
(Kaser,
1997; 1-78)
(see map on page
61).
In this way in the 16th century
Varaždin
became the most important military fortress in Croatia
and its military and defensive function became the main factor in its
development. In order to adapt to the needs of defence, from
1543
to
1563
under the supervision of
Domenico dell Alilo,
the reconstruction
of the medieval feudal castrum into a Renaissance fort with bastions,
surrounded with high earthen embankments and water ditches began578.

VARAŽDIN
The oldest cartographic representations found to date of the town of
Varaždin,
created by Daniel Specklin in
1578,
shows us the state of the
fortress as it was in
1568,
thus, after completing of main building works
on the reconstruction of the feudal fort (see map on page
256).
We can
see that the fort was composed of three round (rondel) Renaissance towers
which were connected with housing wings and created a long inner yard
surrounded by galleries with columns and arches 79. The whole fortress
was surrounded by high earth embankments with spacious bastions at
its corners. The ramparts were from the out and inner sides surrounded
by trenches filled with the water from the River
Drava.
Next to the
south-eastern bastion on the edge of the fortress s property was a watch
tower on the floor of which were quarters for the chief guard and from
where spread a mobile bridge across the ditch connecting the feudal fort
with the territory of the free royal town. In this way the fortress kept its
appearance with the minimum of changes until the beginning of the 19th
century when its partial deconstruction began. Specklin s map gives also
an insight into the state of the town s ramparts which in the meantime
also passed through significant changes. Namely, works on the town s
ramparts built in the 151 century continued in
1516
and lasted until
the second half of the
16 1
century180. The reinforcement of the ramparts
with thick layers of earth was included in the reconstruction of the town s
fortification and on the corners where previously were towers were built
more spacious bastions were erected and the ditches around town s forts
was deepened. In this way
Varaždin
received a double defensive system by
the half of the 16th century
-
the town s fortifications which defended the
free royal town of
Varaždin
and the feudal fort as the military centre of
the Slavonian Military Border which was directly attached at the town s
ramparts. Although Specklin s map does not present the streets inside
the town s ramparts, from the minutes of the town s magistrate we can
learn that during the 16th century all today s streets and squares within
the town s ramparts were created (one exception is
M. Stančiós
Square
which was created at the end of the 18tK century). In the meantime the
function of the main square was taken by the quadrangular square in the
centre of the fortified town, today s King Tomislav s Square which today
also represents the central point of the town. Although during the second
half of the 15th and first half of the 16th century, due to the constant threat
of war the number of inhabitants and numbers of the houses in
Varaždin
dropped, the town also developed further outside of the ramparts *1. The
suburbs created in the Middle Ages along the main approach roads were
still inhabited.
Thanks to its strong military and defensive functions, the town s
trade functions were strengthened during the 16th century. Namely, the
geopolitical situation, due to Ottoman government in
Slavonia,
meant
all trade and transport lines were diverted towards the rest of Croatia
and additionally served in the development of
Varaždin.
Therefore, until
the end of the 15th century, here was one of the largest customs offices
(60%
of the trade between Italy and Hungary passed through
Varaždin
customs office!). The strengthening of the centrality of
Varaždin
in the
16th century was obvious through the strengthening of its administrative
functions expressed in the increase in
Varaždin
County s territory.
Therefore despite the war surroundings in which it developed,
Varaždin
again began a significant spatial and demographic growth in the second
half of the 16th century.
With the definitive halt of the Ottoman penetration and the
stabilisation of the border which marked the beginning of the return of
Croatian territory after the battle at
Sisak
in
1593,
the conditions for the
development of
Varaždin
became more favourable. Its position was now at
a more secure distance from the Ottoman border and under the conditions
of the stable, peaceful period this enabled the further prosperity of trade
and crafts and the cultural and political life of the town in which the role
of its military functions gradually but securely would be replaced with
civil urban functions. Namely,
Varaždin
still kept the role as the centre
of the
Varaždin Generalate
but its craft s and trade functions had already
begun to take on the dominant role in the town s development.
An insight into the appearance and structure of the town in the
17th century can be found in
a veduta
from Johannes Ledentu from
1639
(see
veduta
on page
257).
Based on the mentioned
veduta,
we can see that
during the 17th century the inner town did not pass through significant
functional and or morphological changes. The town had developed a
network of streets created during the 15th and 16th centuries and majority
of the changes were related to the gradual disappearance of the modest
wooden houses which were replaced with spaciously built houses of the
rich tradesmen and craftsmen and by nobles palaces which also were
present in the town. The state of the fortresses mostly overlapped the
state which Specklin had noted back in
1578.
We can clearly recognise
the feudal fort plan with the north-west and south-west bastion at the
front. In detail we can follow the town s ramparts on which western side
were two smaller semi-towers and on the far south-western point was
the towns bastion and town s gate with its quadrangular entrance tower
which mainly correspond to later representations of the town. According
574
Specklin, for some unknown reason, neglected to represent the old quadrangle gothic tower built on the southern side of the fort which was clearly represented in the later maps.

According to
Budak
(1994; 161)
Varaždin
at the end or the 15th century had about
2,500
inhabitants and in the middle of the 16th century during the years of the worst crises it had between
1,200
and
1,400
inhabitants.
IX. Summary
to Ledentu, the urban tissue inside the town s ramparts represented the
high urbanised space where considerably spacious citizens and nobles
palaces took dominate positions. A massive tower with a rare cap and
lantern design undoubtedly marked the tower of the town s council in
the main square. A second tower represented the Church of St. Nicolas
and a spacious house with a line of roof windows in the middle of the
picture represents the recently built Franciscan monastery (the old one
was caught in a fire in
1582).
The building next to the monastery most
probably represents the heavily damaged Franciscan church which during
the fire of
1582
lost its bell tower (the bell tower was rebuilt in
1641
and
thus is not shown). For the first time in Ledentu s
veduta
we can also see
parts of the town outside the town s ramparts. When at the beginning
of the 17th century a better reconstruction of
Varaždin s
suburbs began,
its development did not take place primarily under the influence of
the transport function of the road on which they were developed. This
development happened due to the gravitational influence of the town of
Varaždin.
This change was obvious in the lack of exclusively longitudinal
development along these roads and at the start of the concentration of
their development around the ditches which surrounded the town,
creating a unique suburb ring around the town s ramparts.
The most important changes in
Varaždin s
suburbs were
confirmed on Martin Stier s maps in
1657,
which alongside a proposal
for the upgrading of
Varaždin
fortresses which were never realised,
also contained the building of the network of streets outside the town s
ramparts (see map on page
258).
A ring road, a kind of
Varaždin
ring
as well as a string of surrounding smaller streets which flowed into it,
completely overlaps the contemporaneous structure of
Varaždin
streets. In
this way, alongside today s
Stanko
Vraz,
Vladimir
Nazor, Petar Preradović
and August
Cesaree
streets which surround the town s ramparts, we can,
for the first time see diversions towards
Varaždin
suburbs which create
the starting point of today s streets of: north Optujska Road (at the
time Slopanec, extending to Novaki), Viktor Car
Emin,
Branko Vodnik,
Faller
and Fran Kurelac; east:
Kukuljević
(at the time
Dravički konec)
and King
Krešimir
(at the time
Poklečane);
south:
Anina
(at the time
Cagrovec), Zagreb Road (at the time
Dugi
konec)
and
Toma
Blažek
(at
the time
Platea Sancti Viti)
and west:
Milković
and
Radić
(at the time
Milička), Graberje
and
Hallers
Avenue. Although represented only with
signs, this dense network of streets of the outer town explicitly indicates
a strong urban process which under the influence of the strengthening in
the central functions of
Varaždin
reached its suburbs in which already
by the 17th century a large part of the street structure was created and
is preserved today. At the same time
Varaždin s
fortress compared with
its state in
1578
passed through only one change related to building
°f a southern entrance tower to the feudal fortress. The reason of this
should be looked for in the fact that despite the function of the seat of
the
Generalate,
the military-strategic importance of
Varaždin
as a defence
fortress did not weaken and the maintenance of the ramparts was now
exclusively dependent on the investment of the town and the county.
However,
Varaždin
still had a certain military importance
which is confirmed in the map of the town from
1672
created by the
Habsburg
engineer P. C.
Donato
which contained a new proposal for
upgrading
Varaždin s
fortifications (see map on page
260).
Donato
imagined
Varaždin
as octagonal fortress surrounded with a double
system of ramparts and bastions with ditches.
Donatos
proposal was
more radical than Stier s and in order to implement this unique defence
system,
Donato
proposed the complete destruction of the feudal fort
and its ramparts and the encompassing of this part of land to a common
system of town defence. This ambitious proposal for building
a Varaždin
defence system was most probably stimulated by the preparations for the
liberation of
Slavonia
from the Ottomans but its realisation was never
seriously considered. Although this proposal for the reconstruction of
Varaždin s
fortifications was not realised, Donato s map is important
because it represents the oldest map which gives a detailed insight into
the inner structure of the town. The extent of
Varaždin s
modern street
network is already completely formed. Due to intensive urbanisation and
the simultaneous lack of space bordered by the ramparts, the building of
rows of street is now more or less continued which created characteristic
blocks of houses which are recognisable in today s urban structure of the
historical nucleus of
Varaždin.
The greatest change happened to the block
between
Paulist
Street
(Pavlinska ulica)
and
Juraj Habdelić
Street on the
south and Ivan
Gundulić
Street on the west and August Senoa Street
on the east. The changes in this block are the result of the Jesuit s arrival
who built a complex of their buildings there. On the corner of
Paulist
Street in
1637
the Jesuits built a high school and next to the high school
in
1642
they began to build their monumental early Baroque Church of
Mary s Ascension and by the church a monastery was built in
1655.
In
this way the Jesuit s complex took over the whole southern part of
Paulist
Street. The Jesuits influenced the transformation of the block bordering
Juraj Habdelić
Street on the north and south and Ivan
Gundulić
Street
on the west where in
1668
they began to build seminary. In this way this
block took on the shape it has today. In the inner part of the town
Donato
especially marked some other public buildings
-
the town s council with the
central main square, the Parish Church of St. Nicolas next to the town s
southern gates (today s Liberty Square/Trg
slobode),
the headquarters
of the military government on the southern part of today s Franciscan
Square and the complex of the Franciscan Church of St. John and the
monastery in northern part of the square. Outside of the ramparts, in the
suburbs were, for the first time, marked two churches
-
the Church of St.
Florian
(built in
1669)
in the northern suburb (today s Vladimir
Nazor
Street) and the Chapel of St. Trinity at the beginning of today s

VARAŽDIN
Brothers Street
(in this
place
the Capuchin Friars built their monastery
and the Church of St. Trinity in
1700)
which additionally confirms the
intensity in the development of Varazdin s suburbs which became an
important part of the town.
After the liberation of
Slavonia
and suppression of the border
with Ottoman Empire on the River
Sava
(1699),
Varaždin
almost
completely, rapidly lost its military importance. The last time
Varaždin
had the role as the centre of the Slavonian Military Border during the
Ottoman-Habsburg War of
1716-1718.
In this period the town took the
role of a background military centre where large numbers of soldiers were
settled and from where they were sent to the front on the River
Sava.
In
the light of the preparation for the settlement of troops and weapon s and
food supplies, on the eve of the mentioned Habsburg-Ottoman War, in
1715
a detailed map of the
Varaždin
feudal fortress was created with a
detailed presentation of ground plan of the fortress as well as its functional
organisation (see map on page
261).
The castle can be observed with its
characteristic ground plan with eastern extension which does not exist
today. An arsenal was on the southern part (marked C) and food storage
(so-called
Provianthaus, marked B
on the map). Between the castle and
the earthen embankments we can see an inner ditch (on the map marked
K ). The ramparts around the castle mainly kept their recognisable
outlines. The only change we can see on the eastern edge, where the
backfilling of a part of the ditch which from the outside surrounded the
earthen embankments of the feudal fortress, a small rectangular mound
arose where the prison is now (marked E ). Along the eastern ramparts
the watch tower is marked where the quarters of the chief guard s quarters
were, is represented with a large portal and drawbridge. On the rest of the
bastions of the earthen fort were so-called batteries where the military
crew stayed and if under the need to increase the numbers of troops on
the western ramparts the possibility of building another military building
was considered (marked I ). The connection of the feudal ramparts and
town s wall had special markings (marked in red and the letter n ). This
map contains the first mention of another monastery in
Varaždin
-
the
Sisterhood of Ursulines who in
1712
began to build their convent next
to the feudal fortress in todays Ursuline Street
(Uršulinská
ulica).
The
convent is seen in a construction phase on this map.
After the end of the
1716-1718
war
Varaždin
totally lost its
military importance and in
1731
the centre of the
Generalate
also
formally moved to
Koprivnica.
After this
Varaždin
developed exclusively
as a strong trade and crafts centre which due to the large participation of
the noble classes of the inhabitants as well as influential rich tradesmen
who had great political powers. This was first of all reflected in the faster
spatial growth of outer town while the changes in the inner town were
seen through changes in the architectural styles of housing as well as
in the reconstruction of most of the churches and monasteries. Under
the impression of special visual identity of the town of
Varaždin
at the
beginning of the 18th century several paintings were created (Weiss,
1729;
Kopp, 1732),
which document specific views of
Varaždin
characterised by
lines of towers and bell towers which rise above the town (see paintings
on pages
262,263).
Joining them are the towers of town s gates, the feudal
fortress and the town s council together creating quite an impressive
picture of an almost festive atmosphere at the same time skilfully
emphasising its political and cultural influence as well as the material
status of its citizens. The strong development of trade and crafts functions
during the 17th and at the beginning of the 18th centuries resulted with
changes in the social structure of the town which became one of the most
important seats of Croatian nobility. The political and economic rise of
the town also strongly stimulated the urban-architectural changeover of
Varaždin
which accepted new, Baroque views announcing the golden age
of
Varaždin
history.
The middle of the 18th century signed the peak of the golden age
in Varazdin s history. In
1756
the town became the centre of the Croatian
Ban and in
1767
the centre of the Croatian Royal Council and in this
way
Varaždin
took the function of the main town away from Zagreb.
Numerous representatives of state administration, noblemen and church
dignities then moved to
Varaždin
and the previously developed trade
functions received additional importance. The number of Varazdin s
inhabitants at the beginning of the 1770 s reached around
5,900
(Gabričević,
2002; 229).
According to its new administrational functions
and the great influence of the nobility, the physiognomic changeover of
the town into a luxurious Baroque centre of Croatian nobility began its
full momentum. Thanks to these development conditions, at the middle
of the 18th century,
Varaždin
entered in one of the most intensive periods
in its urban development. At this period several detailed maps of
Varaždin
were created by the surveyor Andreas Leopold Kneidinger who showed
different aspects of town s development during the most glorious period
of its history. Kneidinger s map from
1765
represents the borders of the
territory of the free royal town of
Varaždin
as well as the land property
of the feudal fortress known as the
Varaždin
manor (this estate is marked
lighter on the map), detailing about very complex juridical-economic
relationship in which inhabitants of
Varaždin
and its surroundings lived
and worked (see maps on pages
264, 265).
Inhabitants of the free royal
town of
Varaždin
were free citizens, but the town also had spacious estates
in the town s surrounding as can be seen on the map. These estates were
inhabited by town s serfs subjects of the feudal masters. The inhabitants
of
Varaždin
manor were serfs and in this way subjected to the feudal
master of Varazdin s fortress. Citizens, noblemen, priesthoods, serfs and
freemen, they all together lived in the town and its surroundings closely
intertwining and contributing to the town s development. A detailed
IX. Summary
presentation of ownership relationships in a narrow part of the town
can be seen on Kneidinger s map from
1776
(land in ownership of the
free royal town was marked in red and the land belonging to the feudal
fortress were marked yellow) (see map on page
266).
Changes in the conditions of the town s development which in
Varaždin
started with taking over the function of capital city brought the
inner town mainly architectural changes while the urban structure of the
inner town during the 18th century remained mostly unchanged. This can
be observed on Kneidinger s detailed map of the town s nucleus from
1766
where we can learn that the structure of the streets remained unchanged
(see map on page
267).
The greater impact of the nobility, clerks and strong
tradesmen and craftsmen strata in the town, influenced the increasing
numbers of luxurious Baroque palaces which were built in the places of
old modest buildings in the inner town. The historical nucleus of the
town was completely surrounded with moats which completely lost their
defence functions. The town s ramparts were also completely preserved
although for long period in a very bad state. Communications between the
outer and inner towns were conducted especially through the southern
and northern town s gate and in the middle of the 18th century eastern
and western town s gates were created. The great spatial development of
the town which happened during the 18th century was mostly reflected
in the widening of its suburbs which already by the middle of the 18th
century had multiple outgrew the town s nucleus. In this way in
1775
there were
614
houses in
Varaždin
of which
13
were noted in the inner
town and
501
houses were in the outer town i.e.
Varaždin s
suburbs.
The map of Philip
von Storck
from
1767
provides even more
detailed insight into the structure of the inner town at the peak of its power
(see map on page
268).
This map was created for the needs of resolving
the conflicts between the town s and the Military Border s governments
which after moving from the centre of the
Generalate
had some properties
in the town and this map contains the representation of all the houses of
the inner town as well as a list of many of their owners. Based on an
insight to the mentioned map, it can be observed that all the buildings
with central functions with an exception of some churches and chapels
were still placed in the historical nucleus. There lived the majority of the
nobility, rich tradesmen, craftsmen and clerks, whilst in the outer town
was the space for poorer layers of
Varaždin
inhabitants. In accordance
with this social topography of the town, the inner part of the town was
characterised with a high valuable urban and architectural environment
marked with the strong influence of Baroque and Rococo styles while
Varaždin
suburbs with an exception of some luxurious palaces along the
moats, were still very distinctly sub-urban spaces, which functionally
created a unit with the town s nucleus, but in physiognomic sense are still
in considerably contrast to the high-urbanised space separated by the
town s ramparts.
The rich and luxurious life of
Varaždin
suddenly came to an
end in
1776.
Namely, on 25th of April
1776
Varaždin
was caught in a
catastrophic fire which quickly spread throughout the town. Of all the
614
houses in
Varaždin
before the fire, only
287
houses survived of
which
32
were in the inner town and
255
in the outer part. Due to the
catastrophic consequences of the fire by 1st of July
1776
the centre of the
Royal Council was moved from
Varaždin
to Zagreb582.
Varaždin
lost its
function of capital city which before was an important boost to its urban
development. With the lost of the state administrative functions, the
town was abandoned by the Ban, numerous gentry, royal councillors and
other state clerks and rich
Varaždin
craftsmen and tradesmen took over
dominant political-administrative and economic roles in the town.
The representation of
Varaždin
on the Josephinian topographic
map from
1784
confirmed that the town was very soon rebuilt after the
fire despite the loss of the town s main function (see map on page
270).
The spatial spread of the town did not shrink after the fire.
Varaždin s
inhabitants, except for government and state administrators who moved
to Zagreb, remained in the unfortunate town and they put all their efforts
in to renewing the town. In doing so, in
1780
there were in the town
592
houses, only
22
less than on the eve of the fire583. A quick renovation was
conducted inside the historical nucleus because in
1780
there was
109
houses, so only
4
less than before the fire. Nevertheless, despite the fast
physical renovation of the town, the social topography especially of the
inner town was changed forever. While at the time before the fire in the
historical nucleus large numbers of noble families houses were listed, at
the end of the 18th century here were only around
15
of them
(Lentie-
Kugli,
1776; 61).
The map from
1784
shows
Varaždin
with a recognisable
structure of the streets inherited from previous times. All the streets of
the inner and outer towns which had existed before the fire, held their
orientation through the renovation of the town. Building foundations i.e.
houses were changed. The first phase of renovation which lasted during
the 1770s and 1780 s was marked with the building of new houses on
the basis of the old or the renewal of less damaged buildings while more
luxurious palaces began to be built again at the end of the century. The
town s sacral and monastery buildings were renewed. In this sense the
largest reconstruction was carried out on Jesuits complex in
Paulist
Street
which was taken over by Pauline Order in
1776
(in
1773

was abolished). Besides the nucleus which was completely renewed,
Varaždin s
suburbs began to spread north and south as well as towards
the northwest and west. These changes in building in the outer parts of
the town were conditioned by two breaking events which largely changed
the conditions of
Varaždin s
development. The first of them came with the
building of the first bridge across the River
Drava
near
Varaždin
which
was finished in
1786
and became the key for development of the post
transport between Zagreb and Budapest. According to this, the north¬
western part of the town along the mentioned post road (todays Ivan
Kukuljević
Street and
Međimurska
Road) became the space of the most
dynamic building in the town. At the same time, due to the building of
the bridge in
1784
complex works began on the regulation of the River
Drava
which due to its frequent flooding and its numerous tributaries
impeded the spatial spread of the town northwards. On a map from
1784
the plan of intersecting the meander and filling in the old tributaries was
marked with the aim to protect the bridge as well as the town itself which
due to the river s irregular riverbed was very often flooded.
The map of the town made by
Ignatz Beyschlag
in
1807
confirmed
that the physical consequences of the catastrophic fire during second
half of the
18*
century were on the whole surpassed (see maps on pages
272, 273).
Not only were all the houses renewed but a certain number
of new ones were built, but during the mentioned period there occurred
a significant spatial expansion of the town which first of all was visible
through the expansion of
Varaždin s
suburbs. In
1807
Varaždin
had
777
houses which meant that the town at the beginning of the 19th century
had
163
houses more than at the peak of its development on the eve of the
fire in
1776.
Thanks to successful renovation, the town had about
7,700
inhabitants at the beginning of the 19th century. Furthermore, the fact
that in the town at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries
monumental palaces began to be built again with the harmony and quality
that could be compared with the best achievements of Baroque period
Varaždin
before the fire proves an extraordinary vitality of the town
and its unbreakable economic power. The highest leap in development
was achieved in the northern and north-western parts of the suburbs
which in the previous period noted an outstanding dynamic growth. In
this sense Slopanec (today s Optujska Road) and
Ugarska
(Hungarian)
Road (todays Baron Trenk Street) and
Ledine
(today s Ante
Starčević
Street extending to
Široke Ledine)
were especially outstanding in their
building and they developed thanks to the important transport function
which they had in connecting the town with neighbouring
Styria
and
Hungary. After the building of the bridge across the
Drava
and building
of the eastern town s gate an intensive construction began in the western
suburb particularly along the extension of Ivan
Kukuljević
Street and
today s
Ognjen Priča
and Fran Kurelec Streets whose development
was additionally stimulated by the placement of the fair around today s
Zavrtnica
where a spacious trading area was created. Beside in suburbs,
great urbanisation was also carried out around the outer edge of the moats,
where after the fire the luxurious houses of rich inhabitants replaced the
older modest buildings.
The significant spatial development of
Varaždin
within the context
of its renovation after the great fire had already at the beginning of the 19th
century highlighted the problem of a good connection between the inner
and outer towns. The outer town whose volume had long since outgrown
the inner town, was divided from the town s centre by the town s ramparts
and ditches. Due to these conditions the building of the outer town was
carried out first of all under the influence of the transport functions of
some of the town s roads which resulted in the marked radial spread of its
urban tissue along the main roads while the space between them remained
unused. In order to prevent these non-economic tendencies of the further
spread of the outer town solely along its approach roads it was necessary
to connect the inner town with the outer. The town s thick ramparts and
even wider moats which surrounded them lost their military importance
during the 18th century. Thus at the beginning of the 19th century the idea
of dismantling of them was reached and the valorisation of this valuable
space as an area for new building of the town began. In
1802 Ignatz
Beyschlag created the project for the deconstruction of the ramparts and
backfilling of the moats which then started after
1807
(see map on page
271).
With the deconstruction of the ramparts, the inner town whose
houses, in line with the situation of the time they were built, faced
inwards now backed onto the outer town where gardens and stalls were.
This disharmony of inner and outer towns created after the destruction
demanded a prompt re-organisation of the newly created suburbs. In fact
the levelling of the former moats around the historical nucleus of the town
created some extremely valuable spacious land, which gave the possibility
for qualitative building which would then valorise this spacious area as
the connection between the old and new parts of the town overflowing
into one of the architectonically and environmentally most important
parts of
Varaždin.
The planned parcel division and change in use of the
land of the former moat already began in
1812
according to the plan
created by the towns surveyor Josephus
Erdélyi
(see map on page
275).
At the time that this proposal was created, the town s wall was almost
completely ruined (its odd remains are marked with black lines) but the
former houses and town s gate were still visible in place. Although a large
part of the work was already carried out
-
the earthen embankments were
knocked into the moat and levelled with the surrounding earth and in the
centre of the former moat a canal for water drainage was built (marked
in red). In accordance with this, special organisation of the new terrain
started. According to
Erdélyi s plan,
the south-western and north-eastern
corners of the moat (marked in brown) were dedicated to the creation of
IX. Summary
new town squares (the future Kapuchin and Ban
Jelačić
squares). With
this plan the creation of some new streets was established. In this way
the building of the new street in the south-eastern part of the former
moat
erezted
todays Alojzije Stepinac Street which was a continuation
of the earlier created
Anina
Street. Apart from Alojzije Stepinac Street, a
basis for another street was created which on its western edge of todays
promenade came out at August
Cesaree
Street and today is preserved only
as a narrow footpath between the promenade and the theatre building.
With the backfilling of the northern moat, August
Šenoa
Street gained
an exit onto today
s
Vladimir Nazor
Street which significantly facilitated
the busy transport entrance into the town from the north. Edges of the
moat were used for the extension of streets especially those which created
the ring around the former inner town. Todays August
Cesaree,
Petar
Preradović,
Vladimir
Nazor
and
Stanko
Vraz
streets were now wide with
emphasised urban characteristics (marked in yellow). The revalorisation
of the moat also encompassed a proposal for the deconstruction of the
town s northern and southern gates i.e. the extension of the streets which
from the north and south led towards the historical nucleus (sometime
after
1830
the southern gate was knocked down and around
1840
so was
the northern)584.
As the works progressed,
Erdély
created a new supplemental plan
for the parcel division of the moat in
1818
(see map on page
276).
On this
plan the Kapuchin Square
(Kapucínski
trg)
was marked for the first time
and it was planned on the south-western corner of the moat as well as a
new spacious square in the north-eastern corner of the moat (today s Ban
Jelačić
Square). It is interesting that todays Ban
Jelačić
Square marked
on the map as a future promenade gained the functions of the fair whilst
in the south-eastern part of the former moat where a promenade was
created in
1828,
only the creation of a small square was planned. Whilst
the northern and southern areas of the moat were mainly reserved for
public purposes, the eastern and western parts were planned for house
building. The division into parcels although to some extent regular,
allowed scarce building with numerous gardens and kitchen gardens
which turned the edges of the nucleus into a rural ambience. Although
the initial building was quite slow (damp from the backfilled moats was
still a sizeable problem) over the following decades the area of the moat s
parcels would become highly urbanised. In this way the urban picture of
the town was changed, which after more than
3
centuries has grown into
a unique unit.
Cartographic sources, which allow the documentation of further
changes in former moat area after its division into parcels, were produced
in
1823
by Joseph Podhradczky (see maps on pages
277, 278).
In the
meantime the walls and remains of the town s towers (a part of the
wall is visible only in the south-eastern corner of the inner town) were
completely erased from the town s topography. Urbanisation of the area
of the former moat was not so fast. The speed of construction was affected
by the significant moisture of newly organised building area. Terrain was
still slightly sunken after the levelling and the canal dedicated to drain the
water from this area still can be seen along the whole length of the former
moat. This is the reason that urbanisation developed along the edges of
the moat which slowly rose from the rest of the terrain. Thanks to the
best drainage as well as its position along the road towards the very busy
Drava
bridge the fastest urbanisation took place near former east moat.
A map of the town created by
Franjo
Karba
around
1840
represents the continuation of the slow but sustained process in the
urbanisation of the former moat (see map on page
279).
In
1832,
after
the creation of today s Kapuchin Square on the south-western edge of
the moat and to the north-west the Ban
Jelačić
Square (both of which
had fair functions), the organisation of the first public promenade began
in the area of the former moat which gave it a new, pronounced urban
dimension.
Plochels map of
Varaždin
from
1851
shows the town at the
time when the abolition of feudalism occurred
(1848)
and the territory
of free royal town and territory of feudal jurisdiction merged under the
government of the town s magistrate (see map on page
280).
Upon this
occasion the town received a new unifying house numbering system for
the first time and this was presented on Plochel s map in
1851
(before
this the houses under the feudal jurisdiction had separate numbering!).
From Plochel s map we learn that
Varaždin
had
1,918
houses in
1851
and also that the town was building further although quite slowly and
mainly along existing streets on the edges of the town (the largest number
of new houses were being built in the streets on the north-eastern and
eastern edges of the town which were developing under the influence of
the transport function of the roads which led towards the bridge on the
Drava).
Plochel s detailed map from
1857
shows the situation around
the former feudal fortress documenting important changes in the area
around today s M.
Stančić
Square and Ursuline Street. Namely, on this
584
Tbe realisation of the backfilling of the moat was scaled down by the Habsburg-French war which started in
1805.
When the French, in
1809,
took over the area around the
Sava, Varaždin
became
Ле
main traffic route between Zagreb and Vienna with its traffic position on the
Drava.
According to
Varaždins
new geostrategic role, the Austrians created an expansive project for the fortification of
the area around
Varaždins
bridge across the
Drava
in
1813
(compare the map from
1813).
As the Austrians had already successfully forced out the French from the whole of Croatia in
1813,
the pro-
posai
for reinforcing
Varaždins
bridge was not carried out.

VARAŽDIN
map we can, for the first time, see that there are no more south-eastern
fortress bastions which had remained alongside the guard tower at the
entrance of the former feudal property. Thus Ursuline Street for the
first time was extended towards the north leading right to the yard of
the fortress and todays M.
Stančić
Square was now opened towards the
west. In this way after many centuries, in juridical as well as in physical
senses, the former territory of the feudal fortress and the land of the
free royal town of
Varaždin
were joined. This change stimulated the
discussion about the possibility of dismantling the remainder of the
earthen embankments which still surrounded
Varaždin s
fortress. For
this purpose Plochel, in
1857,
created a project for the dismantling the
remaining embankments around the fortress and the division of this area
into parcels for the purposes of building housing which is represented on
his map but this idea was never realised (see map on page
281).
Thanks to
the abandonment of this proposed operation, the town of
Varaždin
today
has the best preserved Renaissance fortress in Croatia surrounded by its
original earthen embankments.
The cadastral map of
Varaždin
from
1860
indicates the trends in
the final splicing of the inner and outer towns (see maps on pages
282,
283).
The moats were already very urbanised and with the organisation
of town s promenade on their southern edge (today Vatroslav
Jagićs
Promenade) the area of the former moat became one of the most
representative parts of residential building in the middle of the 19th
century as well as the place of representative public institutions. So,
in today s August
Cesaree
Street a synagogue was built in
1861,
the
monumental building of the town s theatre in
1873
and the post building
in
1900.
In the area of former northern moat in today s Vladimir
Nazor
Street there was the customs office, several inns and guest houses and
on Ban
Jelačić s
Square a market was opened. Along the former western
moat
(Vraz
Street) there was the hospital from
1866
and the
Erdödy
Palace on Kapuchin Square became an army barracks.
Varaždin s
former
suburbs now were physically connected to the towns centre although
they were still contrasted by their physiognomy. The houses there were
still significantly smaller, sometimes wooden and almost all of them had
backyards and commercial buildings after which were gardens, fruit
gardens and even farmland. This was a residential and production zone
for
Varaždin s
inhabitants who in the middle of the 19th century along
with some urban activities still held onto agricultural production. In the
suburbs the first of
Varaždin s
manufacturing workshops appeared at the
beginning of the 19th century. At the same time, the further development
and building of the central part of the town was carried out through
the usage of the side streets i.e. the insertion of new buildings into the
already existing street structure meaning some significant changes were
not visible. Generally the spatial development of the town during the 19th
century was very slow. The absence of an adequate railway which Zagreb
had already received in
1862
stunted the further spatial growth of the
town until the beginning of the 20th century. That is to say, despite its
exceptional transport position,
Varaždin
was amongst the last of Croatian
central towns to receive a railway connection.
Varaždin
and Zagreb were
connected by a local railway in
1886
and was connected with neighbouring
Koprivnica
much later in
1937
when
Varaždin
joined the main railway.
This fact significantly weakened
Varaždin s
developmental possibilities,
though stronger industrialisation began in the period between the
two world wars. Under these kinds of conditions the spatial growth of
Varaždin
was also notably slowed down until the between war period.
After Croatia entered the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy
(1868)
and with the arrival of the railway
(1886),
Varaždin
once again took on
a very strong military function. At the end of the 19th century numerous
military barracks were built in
Varaždin
which can be observed on the
map of the town from
1894
(see map on page
284).
There were eight
military barracks
-
on Kapuchin Square (marked with the number
VII),
in
Stanko
Vraz
Street
27
(marked IV) in the building of former silk
factory in the southern suburb (number IX), in Davorin
Trstenjak
Street
(II), in Baron Trenk Street (V) and two military barracks in Optujska
Road (I and III) along which a large military hospital was built in
1895.
Another military barracks was built in
1896
in todays
Juraj Križanić
Street so
Varaždin
became one of the strongest military centres in
Croatia. This map for the first time shows
Varaždin
after the arrival of
the railway which undoubtedly had a crucial importance in the town s
further development but its economic influence was limited due to fact
that the railway was only local. The position of the railway along the
southern and eastern edges of the town i.e. the railway station in today s
Kolodvorska
Street (Railwaystation Street), significantly influenced the
direction of the further construction of the town as well as its further
functional organisation. The position of the railway represented a barrier
in the development of residential quarters. At the same time the railway
stimulated the location of industrial buildings right along the southern
and eastern edges of the town at the beginning of the 20th century and
the railway marked the border between residential and industrial areas
of
Varaždin
till the present day. In this way in
1902
the first functional
zoning of the town was carried out according to which the space south and
east from the railway was dedicated exclusively to industrial development
directing the further spatial spreading of the residential functions only
to the north and west of the railway (see map on page
285).
These
orders resulted in the construction of the first industrial buildings solely
along the railway at the beginning of the 20th century. The railway had a
stronger influence on the development of the town only after
1937,
when
Varaždin,
upon the completion of the railway
Varaždin-Koprivnica
gained a connection to the main rail link to Budapest (see maps on
pages
287, 288).
With the building of the new railway, the town finally
IX. Summary
received adequate development stimulation after which
Varaždin
began
its economic, demographic and spatial growth.
After
1945
mainly with the strong development of textile,
wood and metal industries and in recent times with the food industry,
Varaždin
became one of the most important industrial centres of Croatia.
The after war period was marked with intensive planned social housing
construction which in contrast with other Croatian towns was not
characterised with exclusively multi-storey buildings (see map on page
289).
Only a smaller number of residential dwellings were massive multi¬
storey buildings (represented especially in the south-western and western
parts of the town) while the majority of the dwellings were comprised
of family houses in accordance with the urban heritage of the town of
Varaždin.
New trends in the development of the town are less marked
with further spatial spread of the town (mainly limited to the northern
part of the town) and more
suburbanisation
of
Varaždin s
surrounding
settlements which have become a main part of the
Varaždin
urban body.
In this sense the building of the motorway
Zagreb-Varaždin
had an
especially important role as a part of the motorway towards Budapest
which stimulated the development of many economic zones in the
vicinity of the town (see maps on pages
297, 298).
The town of
Varaždin
is a modern agglomeration in over whose area around
50,000
inhabitants
live. Its economic potentials are important starting points of growth for
the whole of north-western Croatia and its rich historical heritage is an
important part of the cultural heritage of Republic of Croatia.

BUILDING OF FORTIFICATIONS (FEUDAL FORTRESS AND
TOWN S RAMPARTS)
1181 -
Varaždin s
castrum was mentioned for the first time and
it is possible that it was placed over a quadrilateral tower whose
remains were encompassed in the quadrangular Gothic tower of
today s fortress.
In the time of the Counts of
Celje
(1397-1456)
the existing
castrum was upgraded with another three towers connected with
ramparts. The fortress was surrounded by palisades and a ditch.
1458 -
a granary on the south side of the castrum was erected
(in the mid 16th century it was converted into an arsenal for the
Varaždin
Military Border)
Between
1446
and
1454
palisades were built around the free
royal town
1462 -
the ramparts around the town as well as northern (on
today Ban
Jelačić
Square) and southern town s gates (on today
Trg slobode)
appeared in documents
1543 -
under the supervision of
Domenico dell Alilo
the upgrading
of the castrum began and it was turned into a Renaissance fortress
wasserburg.
The main works were finished by
1563.
Within the
works around the fortress earth embankments with bastions were
built and the whole complex was surrounded with moats.
During the first half of the 16th century town s ramparts were
upgraded
-
the town s stone walls were covered with layers of
earth and bastions were built at the corners.
1592 -
after a fire the feudal fortress and ramparts were renewed,
the Chapel of St. Lawrence was built within the fortress. This
appearance of the fortress with some a few changes is preserved
to this day.
About
1766
the east and west town s gates were built in the town s
ramparts
1807 -
the dismantling of the town s ramparts and backfilling of
the moats around the town began
After
1830 -
