The castle was acquired by the Draskovic family in the 16th Century, who lived in here until the early 1900s. During the latter half of the 1800s the castle was extensively renovated with beautiful results.

The Trakoscan Castle still retains its look of a fortified castle, with high walls surrounding the building but does look quite modern compared to other castles in the area due to the renovations. The interior now houses a museum, with original furniture and pieces from the Draskovic family. These include portraits of the Draskovic family members which hang on the walls throughout the castle.
