Kerestinec Castle, Quadrangular castle in Sveta Nedelja, Croatia.

The castle features a two-story structure with a square layout, cylindrical corner towers, and open arcades throughout its internal courtyard.

Construction of the castle started in 1575 under Petar II Erdödy, who received the noble title of count in 1565 and built it with a wide moat.

The Renaissance castle played a central role in Croatian politics, hosting sessions of the Croatian parliament during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Located at coordinates 45.774443 latitude and 15.817145 longitude, the castle stands at 144 meters above sea level in Zagreb County.

During World War II, the structure served as a prison camp, first under Yugoslav administration and later under the Ustaše movement.
