Experts consider the Valpovo park to be one of the most important historical parks in continental Croatia. It was created as a park space of the castle with which it forms a unique and indivisible whole. At the beginning of the 19th century, part of the former Baroque park-forest and hunting ground Zvjerinjak was transformed into a spacious landscape park that spreads funnel-shaped on about 25 hectares from the castle to the south. Two special values of this park are: baroque landscaping of the 18th century with a star-shaped intersection in the park-forest of the hunting ground Zvjerinjak, whose traces can still be seen today, and in its original form preserved English-style landscape park with spacious meadows and vistas. Within the park there is a baroque-classicist castle Prandau-Normann in Valpovo, built in the 1920s on the remains of a defensive fortress, with its front palace and two wings connected to a medieval defense tower and a court chapel, an indispensable segment of every a visit to the city. Its preservation of the whole and the historical stratification of the fortress - castle puts Valpovo castle by categorization among the three most valuable castles in Croatia.
