Sažetak
The domain of Čakovec (Csáktornya), which overlapped with the territory of Međimurje (Muraköz), was the most valuable estate of the Zrinski (Zrínyi) family in the early modern times. After Kanizsa had fallen into Ottoman hands in 1600, Čakovec castle, the central stronghold of the area served as residence of the Zrinskis, due to the fact, that the family as possessor was in charge of organizing the counter-Ottoman defence of the border region. As is well known, the archives of the family perished following Peter Zrinski’s detention in 1670. As a consequence, the knowledge of both the defence structure and the central stronghold itself is limited. For instance, on the large-scale reconstruction of the castle effected in the mid-17th century are only a couple of drawings kept in collections abroad are available. The lack of sources may explain that both Croatian and Hungarian researchers payed attention to the theme as late as the millennium. The first synthesises, however, which, by the way, were written irrespectively of one another, remained unanswered by scolars living in the neighbouring country mainly due to langauge barriers. For this reason, the author aims to summarize the present-day knowledge of the castle of Čakovec by reassessing the contemporary views and plans of the stronghold, in the hope of being able to detect and periodize the building activities connected to Nicholas Zrinski between 1637 and 1664. Besides, he publishes an unknown ground-plan of the castle and the associated report made by a military engineer in 1680, which sed light on the status of the castle in the late 17th century.
