During the War in Croatia from 1991 to 1995, many century-old houses were partly destroyed. Particularly the attempted blast of the giant road bridge across the Korana by Serbian paramilitary troops before fleeing town in August 1995 caused substantial damage to the roofs of the traditional houses, and very limited harm to the road bridge. Local Serb militias, who regarded Slunj as their home region, severely damaged the waterfall "Buk" by throwing explosives on it during the occupation. After the end of war, the houses in this historic part of Slunj have been reconstructed so that hardly any damage can be seen today.
