Čakovec Castle, Heritage fortification in Čakovec, Croatia
The castle features a grand palace with red brick walls, stone elements, and multiple towers surrounding a central courtyard within Zrinski Park.
Count Dimitrius Csáky constructed the initial fortress during the 13th century, which later transformed into a Renaissance stronghold under Nikola Šubić Zrinski in 1546.
The Međimurje County Museum inside the castle displays regional artifacts, historical documents, and exhibits about the noble families who resided there.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds and museum from 10 AM to 6 PM between April and October, with adult admission costing 7 euros.
An earthquake in 1738 led to the complete reconstruction of the castle in Baroque style, resulting in the current architectural configuration.
