Erdödy Castle in Jastrebarsko, Renaissance château in Jastrebarsko, Croatia.

Erdődy Castle is a rectangular, four-winged castle beside the Reka stream in Jastrebarsko, with a large round corner tower on each corner of its northern side. Its east gate carries the Erdődy coat of arms, and the gate wall still holds the pulley openings of the former drawbridge. Inside, a deep gate courtyard leads by two staircases to an arcaded, vaulted gallery on the upper floor, with a carved-rim well in the overgrown courtyard.

Matija Gereb built the fortress in the late 15th century as a defended residence. The Erdödy family acquired it later and held it as a family seat for generations until the early 20th century brought ownership changes.

The Erdődy family owned the castle from 1519 to 1922, and a memorial plaque to its rebuilder, ban Tamás Erdődy, hangs to the left of the entrance. Objects and furniture from the castle are displayed in the town museum. The ten-hectare English park around it is a favourite walking place for locals.

The castle interior is closed for restoration work, but the surrounding park with plants from around the world remains open for exploration. Comfortable shoes are helpful when walking the paths around the exterior grounds.

The gateway still holds the pulley openings that once carried the drawbridge chains, and a memorial plaque to builder Tamás Erdődy hangs left of the entrance. Inside, the arcaded courtyard has unusual acoustics.
