Trakošćan Castle

Trakošćan Castle is documented in the supplied sources as originating in the 13th century and forming part of Croatia's northwestern medieval fortification system. From the 16th century the Drašković family is associated with the site (a source indicates Gaspar Drašković was granted Trakošćan in 1569) and the family later carried out renovations. The castle underwent redecoration in the 19th century and is presented in travel and archival materials as one of the most attractive and well‑kept castles in Croatia. Contemporary sources describe the site as a visited tourist destination and note it is today under public stewardship (owned by the Republic of Croatia).
