| Abstract | Dvorac Lužnica jednokatni je barokni dvorac koji se prvi puta spominje u 17. st. kada su mu vlasnici bili obitelj Čikulin. Dvorac je preuređen u 18. st. dolaskom novih vlasnika, plemićke obitelji Rauch, a na vrhu glavnog stubišta upisana je godina 1791., vezana je uz posvetu grofovske kapele sv. Križa smještene na prvom katu dvorca. Građen je pod utjecajem srednjoeuropske, uglavnom austrijske arhitekture, ali je u potpunosti prilagođen zemljopisnim, gospodarskim i društvenim uvjetima Hrvatske toga vremena. Nakon smrti posljednjeg vlasnika dvorca, baruna Geize Raucha, dvorac i zemljište 1925. godine kupuju sestre milosrdnice sv. Vinka Paulskog od udovice Ane Rauch. Sestre su obrađivale zemlju kako bi prehranile siromašne bolesnike bolnice sestara milosrdnica u Zagrebu, kao i matični samostan i konvikt siromašnih učenica u Frankopanskoj ulici u Zagrebu, a dvorac je poslužio za smještaj starih i bolesnih sestara. Kroz godine sestre su svoju djelatnost dopunile odgojno obrazovnim sadržajem otvaranjem dječjeg vrtića i osnivanjem domaćinske škole, a u dvorcu su siromasi i djeca pronalazili svoj dom, pogotovo 30-ih godina prošlog stoljeća u vrijeme velike suše. Za vrijeme 2. svjetskog rata uspjele su očuvati dvorac i zemljište, ali su nakon njega pogođene agrarnom reformom u vrijeme koje su izgubile veliki dio svojeg zemljišta. Nakon Domovinskog rata i uvođenjem demokratskih promjena sestre su uz pomoć njemačke katoličke laičke organizacije Renovabis osnovale duhovni centar, a organizacija je financirala i izgradnju nove zgrade. Danas se u dvorcu organiziraju duhovne obnove, razni seminari i tečajevi, a nedavno je dovršena i obnova parka. |
| Abstract (english) | Lužnica Castle is a one-storey baroque castle, first mentioned in the 17th century when owned by the Čikulin family. The castle was rebuilt in the 18th century by the new owners, the Rauch noble family, and on the top of the main staircase was written year 1791, linked with the dedication of the Count's chapel of the st. Cross located on the first floor of the castle. Lužnica was built under the influence of Central European, mostly Austrian architecture, but completely adapted to the geographic, economic and social conditions of Croatia of that time. After the death of the last owner of the castle, the baron Geize Rauch, the castle and the land in 1925 were bought by the Sisters of Mercy of St. Vinko Paulski from the widow Ana Rauch. The sisters were farming the land to feed poor people in the Sisters of Mercy Hospital in Zagreb, as well as the mother monastery and dormitory of poor students in Frankopan Street, Zagreb, and the castle was used for accommodation of old and sick sisters. Throughout the years, their activities were upgraded with educational content through the opening of kindergartens and the establishment of a host school, and in the castle the poor and the children found their home, especially in the 30s of the last century during the great droughts. During the Second World War they managed to preserve the castle and the land, but were later affected by the agrarian reform and lost much of their land. After the Homeland War and the introduction of democratic change, with the aid of German Catholic lay organizations, Renovabis founded a spiritual center, and the organization also funded the construction of a new building. Today, the castle organizes spiritual renovations, various seminars and courses, and park renovation has recently been completed. |
