Matije Gupca 2, Pakrac, Hrvatska

Jedan od najznačajnijih povijesnih objekata u Pakracu je dvorac baruna Trenka. Radi se o baroknom četverokutnom dvorcu sa otvorenim unutarnjim dvorištem – atrijem. Sagradio ga je poznati vojskovođa barun Franjo Trenk koji je kraće vrijeme bio vlasnik pakračkog vlastelinstva.

Iako se ne zna točna godina gradnje dvorca u Pakracu uspoređujući ga sa dvorcima tog doba te gotovo identičnim dvorcem koji je Trenk sagradio u Pleternici, sigurno je da se radi o prvoj polovici 18. stoljeća. Ova prostrana jednokatnica služila je kao dvorac ali i vojarna, prvo za Trenkove pandure, a kasnije i vojnu posadu koja je iseljena iz stare pakračke utvrde 1750.

Danas je nažalost zgrada napuštena ali postoje određeni planovi obnove i revitalizacije od strane Grada Pakraca koji bi kroz novu funkciju dali novi sjaj ovom starom i značajnom povijesnom zdanju.

One of the most significant historical buildings in Pakrac is the castle of Baron Trenk. It is a baroque square castle with an open inner courtyard – atrium. It was built by the famous military leader Baron Franjo Trenk, who was the owner of the Pakrac manor for a short time.

Although the exact year of construction of the castle in Pakrac is not known, comparing it with the castles of that time and the almost identical castle that Trenk built in Pleternica, it is certain that it is the first half of the 18th century. This spacious one – storey building served as a castle but also as a barracks, first for Trenk ‘s panduri, and later for the military crew who were evicted from the old Pakrac fortress in 1750.

Today, unfortunately, the building has been abandoned, but there are certain plans for renovation and revitalization by the City of Pakrac, which would give a new shine to this old and significant historic building through a new function.
