History & geography

History

Tumuli - graves from the Iron Age, dated between the 7th and 4th centuries BC, have been found in the area of the Goričan municipality. Goričan was first mentioned in 1255 under the name Kerechen. During the rule of the Zrinski family, Goričan was the seat of a lordship (vojvodat). The Goričan lordship included the village of Hodošan and the abandoned village of Đurđijanec. Until 1691, Goričan was in the possession of Adam Zrinski, when that part of Međimurje came under the administration of the royal chamber. In 1770, the Chapel of St. Leonard was built, which would become a parish church in 1789. In 1838, a school building with a home for teachers was built.

Geography

Goričan is located in the eastern part of Međimurje County, near the Croatian-Hungarian border and the Mura. The nearby populated places include the villages of Donji Kraljevec and Hodošan in Međimurje County, as well as the town of Letenye in Hungary. The border checkpoint between Goričan and Letenye is located around 3 kilometres from the centre of the village. The border checkpoint is also the place where the Croatian A4 motorway becomes the Hungarian M7 motorway, or the other way around.
