From the burg to the museum: 008

Limestone, carved, part of the arch 63 x 21 x 25 cm, 1592

On the arched part of the lintel, at the entrance to the basement part of the western tower, the year 1592 and the coat of arms of the Drašković family were engraved. The coat of arms is quite damaged, and the contours of the griffin are barely visible in the escutcheon. The specified year, as well as on the coat of arms in the entrance, refers to the renovation when the western tower was added. The griffin or eagle-lion hybrid is a mythical creature half-eagle and half-lion.
