Get a glimpse of Croatia’s history at Novi dvori complex in Zaprešić. This beautiful estate was once the home of the renowned Ban Josip Jelačić, a prominent Croatian political and military leader.
Novi dvori now holds a place of historical significance with the Jelačić family tomb there. While renovating, Jelačić extended the manor and added a stunning St. Joseph’s Chapel in the Neo-Gothic style.
Novi dvori, one of the best-preserved examples of feudal estate in Croatia, provides a unique glimpse into the aristocratic lifestyle of the 19th century.
While visiting, enjoy the magnificent chestnut-lined avenue leading to the manor, relax in the surrounding park or visit the chapel and the tomb; both incredible examples of architecture.
This complex gets extremely vibrant in October, during Jelačić Days manifestation, when visitors experience reenactments of historical lifestyle and events, and participate in interactive activities.
With its beautifully preserved architecture and tranquil surroundings, this is your chance to slowly ride through history and Jelačić’s legacy.
