History & geography

History

The parish of St. Martin in Podturen was first mentioned in 1334 in the first list of parishes in Međimurje. Podturen was mentioned in 1367 as the village Tornu. During the 15th century, it was mentioned as the fortress Turnišće. In September 1601, 24,000 soldiers gathered in the Turnišće fortress with the task of retaking the Kaniža fortress, which had been captured by the Ottomans a year earlier. In 1644, Count Petar Zrinski purchased the fortress and village of Podturen. During the reign of Juraj IV Zrinski (1566-1603), Protestantism developed in Međimurje and the catholic church in Podturen was converted into a Calvinist church. In 1708, Podturen was destroyed by Rakoczy's troops during Rákóczi's War of Independence. In 1786, it had 116 houses, inhabited by 125 families, or 725 inhabitants, of which 387 were women. There were also 8 nobles, 7 craftsmen and merchants, and 50 serfs. Podturen received its Hungarian name Bottornya in 1900.
