Rakičan Mansion combines tradition, culture and history with new, modern elements. The Rakičan Mansion Research and Education Center  contributes significantly to tourism, education, research, culture and awareness in the region.

Once the main royal road  - via regna - ran through the settlement of Rakičan. According to written sources, in 1431 there was a military base here, which served to ward off Turkish incursions. The present castle has its origins in that defense effort. In the 17^th century, the miltary base became an economic and commercial center, where wines, fruits, crystal, textiles and other goods changed hands. Gradually, the castle then was converted into the baroque mansion that one can visit today.

The gallery offers space for contemporary art exhibitions by local and foreign artists. It is located in a room between the first and second floor and with its roughness and robustness exudes a very special atmosphere . The gallery opened its doors in May 2015 for the first time. During an exhibition, the gallery is open every work day from 8:00am to 4:00pm. Information about current exhibitions can be found on our Facebook page or website.

In the middle of the castle park, which covers an area of 10 hectares, lies a small chapel built in 1880. The park offers many opportunities for sports and relaxation. Numerous paths invite one to relax and dream. The park has equipment for Disc Golf and a volleyball net. The pleasant shade of the castle park is a magnet for children, where playground equipment is available for different age groups. The castle park and meadow also offer a unique location for unforgettable parties and celebrations.
