About the Hostel

At the end of the 19th century, the original barracks of Ban Josip Jelačić was built and due to its position, its urban and environmental values, it is under the protection of the Ministry of Culture - Conservation Department in Karlovac.

In 2016, the conversion of the barracks into the student hostel Bedem began, with the utmost respect for the architectural values of the existing building. It provides a good example of the attitude towards rich cultural heritage by transforming a neglected and unattractive space into a new urban gathering spot.
