Bosiljevo Castle is situated on an elevation, in a picturesque natural environment, along the historical Carolingian road. The ground plan is an irregular pentagonal with a rectangular tower fender and a palace of a rectangular ground plan, and interconnected trails. It is surrounded by a wall with two cylindrical towers and one pentagonal tower. It was built by the Frankopans in the 15th century and held until 1671, after which it became the property of Nikola Erdody until 1710. Until 1825 it was owned by the Auersperg family. Earl Laval Nugent bought it in 1825, and the Cosulich family at the beginning of the 20th century. It was radically restored in the romantic era of Nugent and Cosulich.
Around the castle there is a preserved park which has been a protected monument of horticultural architecture since 1974.
