Gornja Bedekovčina Castle
Gornja Bedekovčina Castle in Bedekovčina is one of the significant cultural and historical monuments in Zagorje. If you have rented accommodation in Bedekovčina, you will enjoy visiting this place, a marvel of Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles. The castle was built in the 18th century as a single-story structure and was later expanded to include a second floor. Its rectangular layout with a central vestibule is adorned with a grand stone staircase. The windows are decorated with stone frames, and the roof is covered with tiles. The castle is also known as the Gornja Bedekovčina Castle and is a representative example of smaller Baroque castles that were constructed on feudal estates in Croatian Zagorje during the second half of the 18th century.
One of the unique features of this place is the park surrounding the castle, which boasts numerous plant species and several sculptures. Its hilltop location above the town offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy panoramic views of the hilly countryside and the Krapina River valley. Today, the Bedeković-Vranyczany (as it is sometimes called) Castle in Bedekovčina serves as a maiden residence.
