Visit Batthyany Castle located in Ludbreg Old Town. It is a square castle with two outbuildings. Traces of the defensive ring of the water supply from the river Bednja can be seen around the castle. The castle consists of a ground floor and three floors, the first of which is much higher. The earliest data on the existence of the fort date from 1320. During the Ottoman campaigns, it was transformed into a Renaissance castle. With the arrival of the Batthyany family, the castle was renovated in Baroque style. At that time the castle and outbuildings were fully utilized. At the beginning of the 19th century, the castle was less inhabited and began to decay. It has been redesigned several times for a variety of purposes. In addition to the chapel of the Holy Cross, the castle also houses an international conservation workshop - the Ludbreg Conservation Center.
