The village holds great historical and cultural heritage. The documents in the museums are well presented and they explain the livelihood of great people in the Croatian history for example the painters. It is a good place to educate yourself on different cultures.

Desinich is an amazing place, from it one can have a perfect view of the Hrvatsko Zagorje Hills. The untouched nature is a fascinating thing, great how the trees formed a great canopy. I would recommend this place to those who love nature.

The architectural art and designs of the Veliki Castle is breathtaking. I loved the marbled floor and the interior decor especially the light from the chandeliers illuminated the room therefore magnifying it ambience. Such a lovely art.
