- Notes
- The Pethö de Gerse family built a castle in Ivanec in the first half of the 16th century. Not much is known about its origins, construction and appearance. In 1564, King Ferdinand confirmed the town of Bela, the Ivanec castle (Ivancz cum castello) and other estates to the Pethö family. II. In 1632, a castle in Ivanec was mentioned, traditionally built from the ruins of an old Crusader church. Ivanec Castle changed many times during its history from a castle to a castle. Traces of numerous generations and different owners remain, and different stylistic features have been mixed. During the Second World War, the castle was damaged, and after the war it was demolished. Only a few photographs of the castle and the site where it was located remain, today landscaped as a city park.
