The Tkalec Castle [ Tkaletz ] is in the far northwest of Croatia located building . It is located in the village of Robadje, not far from the Štrigova municipality and about twenty kilometers northwest of Čakovec , the seat of the Međimurje County .
Castle construction
Tkalec was built on a high hill in the late baroque style in the 18th century , actually as a curia and a farm in the possession of the Pauline order. The hill itself is one of the highest peaks (around 320 mi. ) In the range of hills in the northwest of the county. The builders were the monks of the Pauliner Order. Tkalec is a long building with a series of impressive arcades , a narrow long corridor , high roof and several entrances to the individual rooms. Only a few parts of the original, authentic furniture and fittings as well as the old inventory of the castle have been preserved to this day. Underneath is a huge old wine press from 1858.
history
The year of completion of the palace is not known. After the Pauliner Order was repealed by the imperial decree of Joseph II in 1786 and their monasteries were nationalized, Tkalec Castle came into the possession of the Althann family a little later . Since the middle of the 19th century it was owned by the aristocratic Zichy family , who ran extensive viticulture there . After the Second World War , the castle, together with the surrounding area, was administered by the “PZK - Poljoprivredno-zadružni Kombinat” (for example, “Agricultural Cooperative Combine”) from Čakovec. At the beginning of the 1990s, after the Croatian war and the independence of Croatia, Tkalec was privatized and then renovated .
Surroundings
The castle is surrounded by vineyards , meadows and forests . Nearby, only a few hundred meters away, on the other side of the hill, is the so-called “Mađerkin breg” (“Hungarian Woman's Hill”). There is a vantage point from which a good view of the surrounding landscape is possible.
