Opened in 2008 at the 350th anniversary of Franciscan arrival to Karlovac, it represents one of the best preserved collections in the city with numerous artefacts dating centuries back. Located in the heart of the old town, offering a very interesting leap into the history of Karlovac with a good price - value ratio. It's possible to arrange a visit even outside of the work hours via email or by phone (both are listed). *NOTE - CREDIT CARD not accepted/cash only. :)

It is a pleasure to walk through the four centuries old history of Karlovac with an excellent guide. The church was built at the same time as the fort itself, with various parts added through the centuries, and is the very heart of the town’s spiritual life. It is also a part of the town’s religious heritage, and an unavoidable point for meeting history, people and one’s own self.

I was totally impressed by the number and variety of exhibits on display. As I walked from the first floor to the third floor, I kept saying, " wow!". The exhibits include religious statues, paintings, priests' vestments, exquisite wood furnitures, porcelains, bells, clocks, gowns. etc. The three female employees I met during my visit were all very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended to visit! Entrance fee is 40 kunas per person, reduced to 20 kunas for children and seniors.

Even if you know nothing about the Naive Art movement, you'll find paintings to enjoy in this four room museum. Climb the winding stairs to the upper level to pay for your ticket, and walk into a series of rooms with well-lit and interesting pieces. Even without studying or being trained, these artists painted some fascinating pieces.
