Bedeković Curia, Donja Lomnica

The Bedeković Curia stands by the road through the settlement of Donja Lomnica, in the town of Velika Gorica in Zagreb County. With its auxiliary farm buildings it stands among a group of trees, and visitors will be interested in it as a well-preserved example of a wooden noble house of Turopolje.

It was built in 1806. It is a curia with one upper floor and a rectangular base, built of oak planks, and it is capped by a high hipped roof. On the ground floor there is a central corridor with a staircase, with two auxiliary rooms on each side. On the upper floor the living rooms are arranged symmetrically: on either side of a larger central room are four smaller ones. The curia has been preserved entirely in its original form, including the wooden joinery and part of the furnishings. It is regarded as a valuable example of a wooden curia of indigenous character in the Turopolje area.

The Bedeković Curia is a protected cultural good and is entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-1894. It belongs to secular architectural heritage.
