Ludbreg is a town in Croatia, located halfway between Varaždin and Koprivnica near the river Drava. It has 3,465 inhabitants, and a total of 8,668 in the entire municipality (census 2001).
Since centuries Ludbreg is a popular place of pilgrimage. 1320 the city was first time mentioned as Castrum Ludbreg. The name of the town comes probably from a crusader named Lobring, who founded the settlement. The renovated Castle of Batthyány is home of a well-known restauration workshop. Ludbreg is also a region of vineyard cultivation (especially Riesling and Graševina).[1]
