Lobor is a village and municipality in the Krapina-Zagorje County, northern Croatia.

History

Lobor was first mentioned in 1257 as Castrum Lobor. Its name probably comes from the Latin word Labor (laboratory). The Church of Our Lady of the Mountains was built on the slopes of Ivančica, on a hill called Gora. This church has been a Marian pilgrimage site for hundreds of years, but the very location on which it was built was a place of life even in prehistoric times, when a hillfort was built on it that controlled the surrounding area and the road communication that passed through a narrow gorge below it. In the 17th century, the Keglević family began building Loborgrad, one of the most valuable castles in Zagorje, after they abandoned Lobor. At the foot of Gora, in the Zazidje park, stands the votive chapel of St. Anthony and his statue, built by the Keglević family in 1703.[3]

During the first year of the World War II, the Ustaše established a concentration camp in Lobor, also known as Loborgrad concentration camp, for Jewish and Serb women and children.[4][5] At least 200 of them died in it.[6]

On 13 April 2023, World Rally Championship driver Craig Breen died in an accident on a road between Lobor and Stari Golubovec during the Hyundai private testing before the 2023 Croatia Rally.[7]
