Stately residences in the northwest of Zagreb with exhibition rooms for local artists.

Just 20 minutes (11.5 km) from the town of Pregrada, north-west of Zagreb, the most imposing castle in the Hrvatsko Zagorje region has a fairytale feel! The first fort was built in the 12th century for military and domestic purposes, then transformed in the 15th and 16th centuries into lordly residences, when the local masters, the Rattkajs, influenced by Italian models, added new round towers.

Inside, a chapel is dedicated to Veronika Desinička, a beautiful but impoverished village girl with whom the prince fell in love. Legend has it that, wishing to make their love official through marriage, the heir suffered the wrath of the royal family. The unfortunate woman was walled up alive in the castle. Even today, it is said that her moans can be heard on the evenings of the full moon. One skull on display is even said to belong to Veronika D... Other rooms in the castle are used as exhibition halls by local artists. Costume re-enactments are also organized.
