Distance from your location From the 15th century the Frankopans developed a lively trade with the Littoral and Venice, and via Gorski Kotar they ran merchant caravans from the north of Croatia to the Littoral. Apart from the land, forests and transport situation the Counts of Krk also exploited the mineral wealth in their possessions; in the 15th century they began to dig and process iron ore in the highland village of Lič. The Zrinski castle is located in the western part of Čabar, in the centre of the town, and it is a complex of four buildings situated around a central courtyard and two towers interconnected by a defensive wall. The courtyard is entered by a monumental covered arched entrance. Apart from the castle, in 1651, the Zrinskis built an iron foundry, and in 1657 a mint. For economic needs, they built sawmills and mills. There is an interesting story about the secret tunnel that led from the ground floor rooms of the castle to the Tropetar rock above Čabar where there was an exit in the case of emergency. There is no kind of record about the tunnel, only the testimony of the old townsfolk about how, before the entrance to the tunnel due to safety was walled up, old weapons and human bones used to be found inside it. Due to the failure of the Zrinski-Frankopan Conspiracy of 1671 the further development of Gorski Kotar was completely transformed, a region which together with the Croatian Littoral, came under the rule of the Austrian court and the Hungarian feudal lords.

Udaljenost od vaše lokacije Frankopani su od 15. stoljeća razvijali živu trgovinu s Primorjem i Venecijom, a kroz Gorski kotar putovale su trgovačke karavane iz sjeverne Hrvatske u Primorje. Osim zemlje, šume i prometnoga položaja krčki knezovi iskorištavali su i rudna bogatstva na svojim posjedima; u 15. stoljeću počeli su kopati i prerađivati željeznu rudaču u goranskome mjestu Lič. Dvorac Zrinskih smješten je na zapadnome dijelu Čabra, u središtu mjesta, a čini ga sklop od četiri zgrade smještene oko središnjega dvorišta i dvije kule međusobno povezane obrambenim zidom. U dvorište se ulazi kroz monumentalni natkriveni lučni ulaz. Osim dvorca, Zrinski su 1651. izgradili talionicu željeza, a 1657. godine kovnicu. Za gospodarske potrebe gradili su pilane i mlinove. Zanimljiva je priča o tajnome tunelu koji je iz prizemnih prostorija dvorca vodio do Tropetarske stijene iznad Čabra gdje je bio izlaz u slučaju opasnosti. O tunelu nema nikakvih zapisa, tek svjedočanstvo starijih mještana kako se, prije nego što je ulaz u tunel zbog sigurnosti zazidan, u njemu znalo naći staroga oružja i ljudskih kostiju. Zbog neuspjeha Zrinsko-frankopanske urote 1671. godine potpuno se izmijenio daljnji razvitak Gorskoga kotara koji je, zajedno s Hrvatskim primorjem, dospio pod vlast austrijskoga dvora i mađarskih feudalaca.
