Varaždin Castle in the Old Town
The Old Town is a medieval castle and the most important monument in Varaždin. Its
construction began back in the 14th century and lasted for over four centuries, as it
was built and rebuilt several times in different architectural styles. Castle’s rounded
towers and the
moat filled with
water
were
constructed
in
the 15th century.
During
the
invasion of the
Turks in the late
16th
century,
high walls with
bastions
were
built. Over the
centuries
the
castle
has
undergone many
transformations. Since 1925, it hosts the Varaždin City Museum. There are several
collections in the museum, like historic documents, glass, clock, ceramics, weapons,
and fascinating rooms furnished in several different styles and chronologically
displayed starting from Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Empire etc.
