(One of the most beautiful castles in Europe, Dvorac Trakošćan)
Bajkovita Hrvatska: Dvor Trakošćan
Prvi temelji dvorca Trakošćan nastali su u 13. stoljeću. U početku se koristio kao promatračnica za nadzor nad putem od Ptuja prema bednjanskoj dolini. Od početka 1584. pa sve do 2. svjetskog rata drži ga vlastelinska obitelj Drašković, jedna od značajnijih hrvatskih velikaških obitelji, koja je dala i četiri hrvatska bana. Sredinom 20. stoljeća dvorac i posjedi su nacionalizirani, a 1953. godine osnovan je muzej sa stalnim postavom u izvornoj funkciji.

Schloss Trakoscan - Castle Trakoscan - Dvorac Trakošćan
Trakošćan
Deutsch
Das Schloss Trakošćan befindet sich auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Bednja in der Gespanschaft Varaždin im äußersten Norden Kroatiens, nahe der slowenischen Grenze. Es ist mit 40.000 Besuchern jährlich eines der meistbesuchten Schlösser des Landes.
Trakošćan wurde im 13. Jahrhundert erbaut.
Vom Jahr 1584, als Maximilian II. Juraj Drašković von Trakošćan das Gut schenkte, bis zur Enteignung nach der kommunistischen Machtergreifung war das Schloss im Besitz der Adelsfamilie Drašković.
Sein heutiges Aussehen erhielt das Schloss im 19. Jahrhundert.
Englisch:
Trakošćan Castle (pronounced [trakɔʃtɕan], Croatian: Dvor Trakošćan or Dvorac Trakošćan) is a castle located in northern Croatia (in the Varaždin County) that dates back to the 13th century (although the first written mention of the toponym Trakošćan is dated to 1334).
Trakošćan was built in the 13th century within Croatia's northwestern fortification system, as a rather small observation fortress for monitoring the road from Ptuj to Bednja Valley.
According to a legend, Trakošćan was named after another fortification (arx Thacorum) that was alleged to have stood in the same spot back in antiquity. Another source claims that it was named after the knights of Drachenstein who were in control of the region in early Middle Ages.
The toponym was first mentioned in written records in 1334. It is not known who its owners were in the first years of its existence. As of the end of the 14th century, it was owned by the Counts of Celje, who were in charge of the entire Zagorje County. The family soon became extinct, and Trakošćan shared the fate of their other burgs and estates that were divided and kept changing owners. In these divisions, Trakošćan was, as a whole, first owned by an army leader by the name of Jan Vitovac, then by Ivaniš Korvin, who gave it to his deputy warden Ivan Gyulay. The family kept the castle throughout three generations, and became extinct in 1566, after which the ownership was taken over by the state.
King Maximilian gave the estate to Juraj Drašković (1525–1587) for services rendered, first personally, and then as family heritage. This was how, in 1584, the Drašković family finally came into possession of Trakošćan.
The generations that followed were staying at the castle from time to time all the way until 1944 when they were forced to emigrate to Austria. Soon after that, the castle became nationalized.
The Museum with collections on permanent display was established in 1953. The castle is today owned by the Republic of Croatia.
The castle itself reveals different phases of building. For several centuries, it used to be a fortification, so that the reconstructions undertaken during that period were functional rather than aesthetic. The facility's essential core is a Romanesque fortification consisting of a housing unit, a small fortified yard, and a massive high tower. The fortification's good location and its observation tower made it safe and easy to defend.
The end of World War II found Trakošćan in a neglected and dilapidated condition, which is why protective architectural and interior decoration works were immediately undertaken. Over the past few years, the castle has once again been affected by decay.
Kroatisch (hrvatski):
Dvorac Trakošćan jedan je od najatraktivnijih dvoraca u Hrvatskoj; nalazi se u Hrvatskom zagorju, 23 km sjeveroistočno od Krapine, 40 km jugozapadno od Varaždina; nadmorska visina 250 m. Najbliža mjesta su Macelj i Strahinčica. S oko 40.000 posjetitelja godišnje jedan je od najposjećenijih hrvatskih dvoraca.
Unutrašnjost dvorca
Unutar dvorca
Dvorac je podignut u 13. stoljeću kao manji burg u sustavu utvrda Zagorske kneževine. U osnovi dvorca prepoznatljive su značajke jednostavnih romaničkih burgova 12.-13. st. Od mnogobrojnih se feudalnih gospodara ističu Celjski grofovi, Jan Vitovec, Korvini, a nakon raspada Zagorske kneževine kao posebno vlastelinstvo uživaju ga Gyulayi, a od 1568. Draškovići.
Više je puta proširivan i dograđivan. Znatnije dograđen 1592., kada Draškovići podižu topničke kule s krovištem (ploča s grbom i natpisom Ivana II. Petra Draškovića iz 1592. na zapadnoj kuli). U to se doba dograđuje kat, povisuje središnja kula i oblikuje dvorište s arkadama. Ponovno se dograđuje tijekom 18. st., kada kule dobivaju kruništa, glavna kula dobiva razvedenu lanternu, a oko tvrđave gradi se cinktura obrambenih objekata, zidova i kula.
Novije generacije obitelji Drašković povremeno borave u Trakošćanu sve do 1944. godine kada se iseljavaju u Austriju. Ubrzo zatim dvorac je nacionaliziran.
Od 1953. u dvorcu je stalna muzejska postava, koja osim vjerne rekonstrukcije ambijenata iz razdoblja obnove sadrži vrijedne primjerke baroknoga namještaja i sitnih predmeta. Dvorac je u vlasništvu Republike Hrvatske.

Trakošćan je nastao krajem 13. stoljeća u obrambenom sustavu sjeverozapadne Hrvatske kao manja osmatračka utvrda za nadzor puta od Ptuja prema bednjanskoj dolini.
Prema legendi Trakošćan je svoje ime dobio po tračkoj utvrdi (arx Thacorum) koja je navodno postojala u vrijeme antike. Druga sačuvana predaja govori, da je ime dobio po vitezovima Drachenstein koji su u ranom srednjem vijeku gospodarili tim krajevima.
Toponim Trakošćan prvi se puta spominje u pisanim dokumentima 1334. godine.
Gospodari utvrde u prvim stoljećima nisu poznati, tek znamo da su od kraja 14. st. vlasnici grofovi Celjski, koji istovremeno gospodare čitavom Zagorskom grofovijom. Uskoro ta obitelj izumire i Trakošćan dijeli sudbinu ostalih njihovih gradova i posjeda koji se usitnjavaju, i mijenjaju razne gospodare. U toj podjeli Trakošćan, kao jedinstveno imanje, pripada najprije vojskovođi Janu
Vitovcu, zatim Ivanišu Korvinu, koji ga poklanja svome podbanu Ivanu Gyulayu. Ova obitelj
zadržava dvorac kroz tri generacije, te izumire 1566., a vlastelinstvo preuzima država.
Za učinjene usluge kralj Maximilijan dodjeljuje vlastelinstvo Juraju Draškoviću (1525.-1587.), najprije osobno, a potom na nasljedno uživanje. Tako je konačno 1584. Trakošćan stekla obitelj Drašković.
U razdoblju procvata izgradnje dvoraca u Hrvatskom zagorju, u drugoj polovici 18. st., dolazi do napuštanja Trakošćana. Zapušten, počinje naglo propadati, pa se tek polovinom 19. st., obitelj ponovno zanima za svoj titularni grad, u duhu novog vremena, romantičnog povratka prirodi i obiteljskim tradicijama. U tom duhu podmaršal Juraj V. Drašković grad obnavlja u rezidencijalni dvorac, a parkovni okoliš pretvara u romantičarski perivoj. Iduće generacije povremeno borave u Trakošćanu sve do 1944. kad se iseljavaju u Austriju, ubrzo zatim dvorac je nacionaliziran.
1954. osnovan je muzej sa stalnim postavom. Danas je dvorac u vlasništvu Republike Hrvatske.
