Kaptol manors in Zagreb

The Kaptol manors form a series of 25 manors along the Kaptol Street in Zagreb, Croatia that were used to house canons and other officials of the Archdiocese of Zagreb. The manors were built at various times from the Middle Ages until the 19th century. Most of those preserved date from the Baroque period (17th and 18th century); those in the best condition are mostly from the 19th century. The manors were designed as large town houses surrounded by gardens. Each has its own history and peculiarities. The most important are those which were inhabited by prominent canons.

List of Kaptol manors by address

Houses in Croatia are usually numbered with ascending odd numbers on the left side and even numbers on the right side, starting from the end of the street closer to city centre. However, Kaptol Street is numbered clockwise, starting on the south end opposite the Zagreb Cathedral, proceeding on the west side north towards the intersection with Nova Ves, therefrom continuing back south on the east side and ending with the cathedral itself.

Following is the list of manors aligned by house number that also contains brief description of each manor:
