HISTORY
The name Kutina was mentioned for the first time on 10 November 1258 in the charter of Hungarian-Croatian king Bela IV under the name KOTYNNAM. As a settlement, a market town and the center of nahiya, Kutina is mentioned in the writings from 13th to 16th centuries under the names: Kotenna, Kothennya, Kotena, Kutinovac and other. The most powerful landlords of Kutina nobility were: Ruhovići (Roh de Decse), Večerinović and Vukoslavić, and from 1505 on Toma Bakocs, who changed his name to Erdödy in 1511. In 1780, the Hungarian family of counts Sečen (Szesen de Temerin) appeared. They were the successors of a part of Kutina nobility and related to Erdödy family. After 1848, when serfdom was abolished, other owners of the Kutina estate emerged, among which (are mentioned) Johan Grisul Tolstoy and in early 20th century Slavko Bettlheim, Ignac (Vatroslav) Steiner as well as the Ausch brothers.
It was during 19th century that Kutina became an important trade and craft center as it was confirmed by a special charter on March 3, 1837.
Kutina was developed on the slopes of the Moslavina hills from where it descends southwards through the valley of the Kutinica River. It is marked by predominantly low housing construction, both historically from the turn of the century (as well as the one) and that from the second half of 20th century. In 1886, a fire of devastating proportions broke out in the market square in Kutina. Given the large number of wooden houses, most of them perished. In reconstruction new city houses were built that now make up the historical center of Kutina.
