OLD TOWN OF ČAKOVEC (1791 – 1948)

Ivan Srša ; Hrvatski restauratorski zavod, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

The Čakovec Old Town system consists of a two-story square-shaped palace with inner courtyard, exterior courtyard between the palace and the fortification system together with remains of walls and bastion, and also the remains of the first moat, in past times filled with water. Serious construction changes correspond as a rule with the periods in which the town was possessed by particular wealthy noble families, ending with the First World War and fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (Ernušt, Zrinski, Althani, Festetići). Taking into account major construction work carried out after the mentioned period, the period between last century's two world wars should be considered, as well as the period after the end of the Second World War to date, even though they are not marked by construction or style coherence.
