Trakošćan je osnovan krajem 13. stoljeća u obrambenom sustavu sjeverozapadne Hrvatske kao osmatračnica za nadzor ceste od Ptuja do doline rijeke Bednje.
Prema legendi, Trakošćan je dobio ime po tračkoj tvrđavi (arx Thacorum) koja je navodno postojala u antičko doba. Druga preživjela tradicija kaže da je ime dobila po vitezovima Drachenstein koji su vladali ovim područjima u ranom srednjem vijeku.
Toponim Trakošćan prvi se put spominje u pisanim dokumentima 1334. godine.
Vlasnici utvrde u prvim stoljećima nisu poznati, znamo samo da su od kraja 14. stoljeća vlasnici bili grofovi Celjski, koji su istodobno vladali cijelom Zagorskom županijom. Ubrzo ova obitelj izumire i Trakošćan dijeli sudbinu ostatka njihovih gradova i imanja koje razni gospodari fragmentiraju i mijenjaju. U ovoj podjeli Trakošćan kao jedinstveno dobro prvo pripada vojskovođi Janu Vitovcu, zatim Ivaniš Korvinu, koji ga je darovao svom podbanu Ivanu Gyulayu. Ova obitelj zadržava dvorac tri generacije, a 1566. godine dvorac je preuzela država.

This castle stands out from its surrounding. As I was touring the castle I loved their collections on display and walking around the lake as therapeutic. Definitely a perfect spot for a picnic

The nature at the castle was glamorous and the well kept place with the green vegetation was on to live for. Dazzling views from the castle and the lake was superb for the stay.

Views from the high balconies opened upto the Ptuj road and the extending river valley. The landscaped also looked magnificent from this location. I really loved the experience

The Trakoshchan has a great castle. It is the upront point for defence against the enemy. I fancy and admire the place a lot.

This Historic building has a vast collection of historic artefacts. I was glad to see most of these artrefacts. I was mind blown

The castle has a rich history with a beautiful architectural building and a park that we toured and were amazed by the green vegetation. Remarkable moments.
