Juraj Khevenhiller (Croatian pronunciation: [juraj kevenxiler]) was an Austrian nobleman from the Duchy of Carinthia.[2] His name is also spelled as Gjuro or George,[3] whilst his surname is also spelled as Khevenhüller. He is famous because he was responsible for building Karlovac and because leading Croatian writer Miroslav Krleža wrote a song named after him.[4]

Khevenhiller is remembered in Croatia as a very cruel man.[5] He built the City of Karlovac[6] in honour of Charles II, Archduke of Austria.[7] He had gathered numerous serfs and forced them to built Karlovac.[8]

On 21 August 1578, Khevenhiller and baron Krsto Ungnad went from Slunj to Bihać.[9]

Khevenhiller acquired Hochosterwitz Castle by purchase[10][11] and built Annabichl Castle.
