Music salon

The music salon was the area where one spent most time, and therefore it was decorated much more luxuriously: gilding, richly painted carvings and the neo-baroque furniture.

The mounted decorations around the doors on the entire floor are made in a neo-Gothic style with coats of arms of the families maritally related to the Drašković family. This makes it evident that the Drašković family members mostly married the members of wealthy noble families. In this way the Drašković family expanded their estates and gained wealth and power. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries these were mostly Hungarian families, and in later periods Austrian and important Croatian families, such as Erdödy, Nádasdy, Istvánffy, Herberstein, Brandis, Brüdern and so on.

The stove located here is the oldest one in the castle, dates back to the eighteenth century, and it is made in rococo style. The walls are decorated with two large baroque mirrors, and there are also Beethoven's bust, two alabaster vases and a candelabra. On the walls of the music salon there are portraits painted by Julijana Erdödy Drašković, of which a copy of Rubens's double portraiture of his sons, placed above the piano, particularly stands out.
