- 1Zrinski Castle Čakovec
Castle
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.

Historical
The oldest public park in northern Croatia (opened 1904) surrounds the Zrinski Castle — huge planes and lindens, ornamental ponds, gentle jogging loops. A pleasant introduction to the town.
