Trakošćan Castle rents its terrace, chapel, multipurpose hall, two galleries and meadow for weddings, receptions, meetings and team-building days, for groups of up to about 100 people. The castle stands in a landscaped park at Trakošćan, near Lepoglava in northern Croatia, and operates as a museum.
Seminars and company events
The multipurpose hall inside the castle can be hired for up to three hours or for a full day of up to eight hours, which suits a meeting or a short seminar. The ground-floor gallery and the upper gallery are also rented by the day, for up to eight hours, and food and drink are permitted in them. The meadow in the park is offered for team building and takes up to 100 people, booked by the hour. The castle terrace can host a company reception for up to 80 guests, or 100 including staff, in a standing buffet format. The official site lists no projection or conference equipment, so confirm technical needs when you enquire.
Weddings and receptions
Couples can marry in the castle chapel, with photographs in the park included, or hold a ceremony and reception on the castle terrace outside museum hours. The terrace is booked for three hours and set up as a reception with high tables and no chairs. Music is limited to 105 decibels. In low season, terrace events can also take place during museum hours. A tent wedding or a similar commercial event can be held on the meadow for a full day. Photography sessions for couples can be arranged in the park alone, or in the park and the castle interior outside museum hours for a group of up to 10 people.

The galleries and the multipurpose hall are hired for up to eight hours, and the terrace for three hours. The site does not publish seated capacities for the hall or the galleries, so ask for the layout that fits your group.

History and setting
Trakošćan is a medieval castle in a landscaped park, listed in the Register of Cultural Goods of Croatia. It is open to visitors as a museum, and event bookings take place outside museum hours or, for the terrace in low season, during them. The park and the castle exterior can also be hired for filming under separate conditions, which makes the site familiar to production crews as well as to wedding photographers.
Getting there
The address is Trakošćan 4, 42250 Lepoglava, Croatia. The official site gives no transport details, so ask the castle about access, parking and transfers for your group when you enquire.
