blizina sela Dragović

Čaklovačka utvrda nalazi se u blizini sela Dragović, oko sat vremena hoda od ceste Pakrac – Požega. Smještena na dosta nepristupačnom terenu, brdovitom sjevernom dijelu Psunja, duboko u šumi.

Utvrda je sagrađena u 13. stoljeću, bila je najistočnija obrambena utvrda Križevačke županije. Odmah do utvrde, prostirale su se plodne, obradive površine, a podno nje razvilo se i cijelo naselje.

Među vidljivim ostacima do izražaja dolazi glavna branič kula za koju se vidi da je bila peterokutnog oblika. Kula je imala pet katova što se jasno vidi po udubinama za podne/stropne grede, a unutar same kule se i stanovalo. Vidljivi su ostaci gotičkog kamina, obrambenog zida, snažne baze kule te opkopa utvrde.

near village Dragović

Čaklovac fort is located near village Dragović, about an hour’s walk from the road Pakrac – Požega. Located on a very inaccessible terrain, hilly northern part of Psunj, deep in the woods.

The fortress was built in the 13th century, it was the easternmost defensive fortress of Križevci County. Right next to the fort, fertile, arable land stretched out, and at the foot of it the whole settlement developed.

Among visible remains, the main defensive tower, which is seen to have been pentagonal in shape, stands out. The tower had five floors, which can be clearly seen by the recesses for floor/ceiling beams, and inside the tower itself was inhabited. Remains of a Gothic fireplace, a defensive wall, a strong base of the tower and the moat of the fort are visible.
