Ludbreg is a small Croatian town, located on the North of the country, in Varaždinske County. The total number of inhabitants at the beginning of the XXI century was almost 3, 5 thousand people in the city and almost 9 thousand, if you count the community center in Ludbreg. Took Ludbreg the Northern slopes of the hills Kalnik, the poor man's river, near where it flows into the Drava. West of Ludbreg is situated in Varazdin, and on the South-East of Koprivnica.

First mention of the town appeared in 1320, when he had another name – the Castrum Ludbreg. In the XVI century the castle was repeatedly attacked by the Turkish army, but against all odds she survived.

It is worth mentioning one fact from the history of this town in Croatia, namely: in the early fifteenth century there was a legend about "Ludvigson miracle". Thanks to him, we can safely say that the history of the city and its main attraction is inextricably linked. According to the legend, during Church services parish priest doubted the reality of transubstantiation, and immediately afterwards the wine, which was filled with liturgical chalice, turned into the true blood. After that frightened the priest asked him to fix unusual Cup right into the wall of the temple, but the word was spread throughout the countryside – the pilgrims began to regularly attend Ludbreg. The relic was transported to Rome, but it was kept only for short period, since recognition of the authenticity of a miracle by Pope Leo XII in 1513, the bowl was moved back to Ludbreg. Since then the relic was kept in the parish Church of St. Trinity (built in 1410), but in 1721 von Rosenfels from Augsburg, goldsmith, put the bowl in a luxuriously decorated reliquary.

By decree of the Croatian Parliament in 1739 in honor of the miracle was ordered to build a new Church. All work was completed only several centuries later, in 1993, residents and guests of Ludbreg were able to witness the chapel of St. The Blood Of Christ.

Ludbreg perfectly preserved the Batthyany Palace, which once belonged to the aristocratic family from Hungary. Today, the Palace is a restoration workshop.

As for interesting events, annually in the first month of autumn in the city attracts pilgrims from all over the world to visit the "Holy week", dedicated to the Eucharistic miracle.
