History
Croatia's storybook castle — a white-turreted 13th-century keep rebuilt in neo-Gothic style in the 19th century, floating above a small lake wrapped in an English-style forest park. The interior museum is authentically furnished; a lakeside path loops in about an hour.
“The castle's romantic makeover was ordered by Juraj V. Drašković in the 1840s — inspired directly by fantasy engravings of Bavarian castles.”
