History
edit
The Delišimunović family name has appeared in various forms, including Delisimonovich, Dellisimunovich, Delljsimonovich, and Dellissimunovich. It derives from the nickname Delišimun (delija Šimun), linked to Šimun, the son of Ivan Radojčić, established sometime between 1530 and 1537.
The family initially lived in Klis Fortress, later moving to Pokuplje, where they owned Radojčić Castle near Duga Resa. They subsequently relocated to the Žumberak mountains, where Krsto Delišimunović was granted the title of Baron on August 9, 1675,[2] by Leopold I. He served as captain of Karlovac until his death in 1696.
Franjo Krsto Delišimunović, son of Krsto, commanded the Croatian army during the uprising of Francis II Rákóczi in 1704, alongside Franjo Vragović. He was elevated to the title of Count in 1708.[3]
The family owned properties in Žumberak, including Žumberak Castle, Radojcic Castle, Kostanjevac, and Petričko Selo, as well as southern estates such as Brlog and Drežnik through marriage.
