Dvorine, Remains of the Rogovo Manor, Sveti Filip i Jakov

Dvorine are the remains of the Rogovo manor beside the Sveti Filip i Jakov-Sikovo road, in the municipality of Sveti Filip i Jakov in Zadar County. For a visitor it is interesting as the remnant of a medieval farm court that later served the Turks.

The manor has a rectangular plan measuring 29x21 metres, and a castle stood at the northeastern corner. It was probably built in the 11th century by the Benedictine abbey at Rogovo. It served for residence and farming, and reached its greatest flowering in the 14th and 15th centuries. When the Turks broke in, the manor was demolished, and at the end of the 16th century it was extended for a Turkish guard and customs house. The walls are in places up to three metres high. Rescue excavations uncovered inner foundation walls and a multitude of late medieval pottery.

Dvorine is a protected cultural property, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-3396.
