Blinja

Blinja is a village in central Croatia, in the Town of Petrinja, Sisak-Moslavina County.

[3] In 1559 Ivan Lenković proposed destruction of the fortress so that it would not fall into Ottoman hands.

[3] In a report written by the commissioner of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, the fortress is described as the last one before the Ottoman-controlled lands, and that its walls were damaged and surrounded by water.

[3] The fortress remained unconquered until the Ottoman retreat after the end of the Great Turkish War and the signing of the Treaty of Karlowitz.

[3] The modern day ruins of the fortification are located in the forest-covered hill south-east of the village.
