Motorcycle travel series by @velimir 'Zagorje 54' (Part #164)

As I enter the mansion, a spacious yard opens in front of me. It is larger than it looked from the outside. Apart from the outside floor tiled with pebbles and bricks, the collonade is quite impressive, as well. The Oršić mansion seems to live its second youth. Wish there were more of these mansions renovated in Croatia. This gives me an idea to visit a ruined one. There must be loads of them nearby.

This statue of "Petrica Kerempuh" catches my attention. There is the exact same one at a little square close to the Zagreb's green market. Petrica is an imagined fictional character appearing in several Croatian literary works from 19th and the beginning of 20th century. He is a people's prophet and a cynical commentator of daily events of that time.

This looks like an archaeological find, rather than a part of the mansion. Maybe it is something that was here before the mansion. Well, it is something. They wouldn't just leave a corner of a wall here for no reason. :)

(After investigating, I found out these were indeed remnants of a 12th-century medieval fortress which stood at the same spot. It was called "Samci".)

The south-west corner.

And...this is where I'll have my coffee right now! Right there, left from the old well! :)
Check out these cobblestones!

Enjoy your day! :)
