Abstract
Varazdin County has the second largest number of castles in its territory in the Republic of Croatia and most of them do not have a purpose or the purpose is not in line with the cultural values of those buildings. This thesis studies more than twenty castles and manors of the Varazdin County, based on the list of immovable cultural heritage of the Ministry of Culture. The aim of this paper is to identify the reasons why this heritage is not in service of economic well-being of modern society and it is primarily based on published literature, newspaper articles, strategic plans and etc. Divided in three larger units, this paper tries to briefly present the castles and manors of the Varazdin area, presents six identified reasons for their stagnation and economic non-use, and finally through different approaches to the revitalization of castles and manors illustrates greater or lesser success of such ventures.
