From Zagreb to Castle Trakoscan & Museum of Evolution in Krapina

Deep in the heart of Croatian Zagorje, near Varaždin, there lies a beautiful castle with a park and a lake, which captivates the eye of domestic and foreign tourists. TRAKOSCAN CASTLE is one of the most romantic and fairy tale-like sites you have ever seen, with a nearly 800-year history behind it. Trakošćan Castle is a cultural and historic monument of exceptional significance and one of few edifices in Croatia with its own preserved holdings; it was built in the late 13th century within the defence system... The Krapina NEANDRETHAL MUSEUM is a museum affiliated to the Museums of Croatian Zagorje and its vision and mission statements have taken into account European values. The museum vision aims towards a democratically governed society in which museums continuously contribute to mutual understanding and development through responsible use of natural and cultural heritage. Join us and enjoy the rich cultural and historical heritage of this beautiful Zagorje, not far from Zagreb!
