The #Trakoscan #Castle The Trakoscan Castle is one of the most visited sites in this region. The Castle is well preserved and was built in the 12th of 13th Centuries, although the exact date is not known. The castle was acquired by the Draskovic family in the 16th Century, who lived in here until the early 1900s. During the latter half of the 1800s the castle was extensively renovated with beautiful results. The grounds were also landscaped at that time to include an artificial lake in a park like setting. The Trakoscan Castle still retains its look of a fortified castle, with high walls surrounding the building but does look quite modern compared to other castles in the area due to the renovations. The interior now houses a museum, with original furniture and pieces from the Draskovic family. These include portraits of the Draskovic family members which hang on the walls throughout the castle. The Trakoscan Castle is located 83km / 50mi northwest of #Zagreb. Rent Zagreb team
