Geocache Description:


Graščina Križ

Nastanek gradu najverjetneje lahko postavimo v drugo polovico 16. stoletja. Prva zanesljiva letnica, ki nam priča o obstoju gradu je 1583, ko je bil grofu Ahaciju Turnu izdan urbar, v katerem se imenuje poleg »vom Thurn« tudi »zum Creuz«. Po starem izročilu naj bi se grof Turn preselil na Križ s Starega gradu nad Kamnikom, ker naj bi leta 1576 v njegovo hčer treščila strela in jo ubila.

Ustanovitev kriške graščine je bila za komendsko območje, zlasti pa za vas Križ, zelo pomemben dogodek, ki je povezan tudi s protestantizmom na Kamniškem.
Po izumrtju Turnov so postali lastniki gradu grofje Auspergi-Turjaški, po njih pa so graščino podedovali baroni Apfaltrerni, ki so ostali lastniki gradu, dokler ga niso med drugo svetovno vojno požgali partizani. V kriškem gradu so bile številne dragocene umetnine, ki jih je leta 1929 v knjigi »Umetnostni spomeniki Slovenije – Politični okraj Kamnik« opisal dr. France Stele. Veliko jih je bilo uničenih v požaru, del pa je po vojni izginil neznano kam.
Od nekdanjega mogočnega gradu je ostalo bore malo. Nalog za požig gradu je izdal domačin Janko Rudolf, utemeljevali so ga s strahom pred nastanitvijo nemških vojakov na tej strateško pomembni točki, čeprav se v gradu skoraj nikoli ni zadrževala kakšna večja nemška enota. 

Manor Creutz
The formation of the castle is likely to be placed in the second half of the 16th century. The first reliable year, which we witness the existence of the castle in 1583, when the Count Ahaciju Turnu issued land register, which is also called "vom Thurn" and "zum Creuz." Following the old tradition to count the Turn on Cross moved to the old castle above Kamnik, in that in 1576 crashed into his daughter shot and killed.

Establishment slices mansion was the komendsko area, especially for you cross a very important event, which is also associated with Protestantism of the Kamnik.
After extinction Turnov became owners of the castle by the Counts of Auersperg-Auspergi, after they inherited the manor Apfaltrerni barons, who remained owners of the castle, before being during World War II partisans burned down. In slices of the castle were many valuable works of art which, in 1929 the book "The monument of Slovenia - Political district Kamnik" described Dr. France Stele. Many of them were destroyed by fire, part of it after the war and disappeared into unknown.
From the imposing castle of the former is very little remains. Arrest arson Castle has released native Rudolf Hansel, argued by the fear of housing German soldiers in this strategically important points, though the castle is almost never stayed any more German troops.
