Edged arms in Varazdin castle
Varazdin castle is situated in Varazdin county North of Zagreb in Croatia near the Hungarian border. The castle was surrounded by massive earthen ramparts with double water moats. Due to its strategic location it was regarded as the key/gateway to Styria in Austria. There’s a granary on the castle grounds which served as the armoury for Slavonia. The castle museum also houses a modest arms collection.
