Trakošćan

Another Castle that just makes you want to stop and stare.


Trakošćan castle can be found in Croatia dating back to at least the 13th century. I has changed hands many times and through out the years even been left unoccupied, even more times than it changed hands. The draft must not have been appreciated, but that is just my thought.

  1. It's amazing how many castles stood empty for so long after the allure wore off. They're still awesome to go visit though. :)

  2. That is just a beautiful castle. I bet the draft in the winter could make even the warm blooded move out.

  6. It has clearly been maintained on the outside. Exploring it would be a hoot.

  7. It truly is majestic, taking it's reign high on the hill. It prob has wall hangings.
