History
The Zrinski family's fortified palace anchors the pleasant county town of Čakovec — the ancestral seat of the noble family whose ill-fated 1671 conspiracy tried to break away from Habsburg rule. The palace museum tells that story alongside good archaeological and ethnographic collections.
“The Zrinski conspiracy of 1671 ended with the beheading of Petar Zrinski in Wiener Neustadt — his last letter to his wife is one of the most-quoted texts in Croatian literary history.”
