History

[edit]
Ruins of Samobor Castle

Samobor has existed as a free royal town since 1242,[a] according to a charter of privileges granted by King Béla IV.[7]

Following the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, Szamobor was incorporated into the Habsburg Monarchy (later becoming part of Transleithania following the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867). It was integrated into the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, established through the merger of the Kingdom of Slavonia and the Kingdom of Croatia via the Croatian–Hungarian Settlement of 1868. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Samobor served as a district capital within Zagreb County of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.[7]

The local volunteer fire department DVD "Chromos" was established in 1954 under the umbrella of the Firefighting Association of the City of Samobor (Vatrogasna zajednica grada Samobora).[8]

Samobor is one of the earliest tourist resorts in the region, with the first tourist facilities dating back to 1810, catering to anglers, hunters and hikers. The town's beautiful surroundings and vicinity to the capital have supported this tourist tradition to the present day. In 1846, Samobor was paid a visit by the composer Franz Liszt, who at that time was visiting Zagreb during one of his numerous concert tours. Liszt came to Samobor to see his friend Ferdo Livadić, in his lodgings at the Livadić mansion, which is today the town museum. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Livadić mansion came under the ownership of a Jewish family named Daničić. They were forced to leave as a result of the Nazi invasion in 1941. Shortly after this, the mansion was confiscated by the newly formed Independent State of Croatia and never returned to the Daničić family. On Tepec hill, a 10-minute walk from the city centre, there are still-visible remains of the Samobor Castle fortress built in the 13th century.
