Culture and history

The history of the city is tightly connected with the two castles in the town of Oroslavje. Oroslavje used to have two castles, but now only has one. The castle in so-called "Gornje Oroslavje" or "Upper Oroslavje" used to belong to the Čuklins, followed by the Vranyczanys. It was almost completely destroyed in the fire of 1949 and was later demolished.[3] The only thing saved was the French-style park in front of the castle with a fountain.

The second castle that used to be owned by the Vojkiffy family remained whole, but it is currently in bad shape.[4]

The Oroslavje church is supposed to be built in 1652 or 1653. It is first mentioned in historical sources in 1669. Its current shape was made in the beginning of the 20th century. The church is currently undergoing renovations.[5]

The town day is on 11 August. Every year there is a festival held the week of the town day. Typically, there are many attractions, concerts performed by famous Croatian singers and groups, amusement parks, and so on.
