We researched the development in Kostel manor from the last Turkish attacks in the late 16th
century up to the time of the last landlords of the family Langenmantl in the late 17th century.
By using some archive sources for the first time, we described the defense, taxes, trade and
rebellions in Kostel. We proved that by living far enough from the battles of the thirty years
Kostelans prospered with the trade to the free harbors of Zrinjski. Their success can be connected
with the high number of their packhorses.
