The castle was built in the 17th century by the Keglević family, and in the second half of the 18th century, the Drašković family rebuilt it as a single floor construction, in the shape of the letter U. After the Drašković family, the Bombelles family was in possession of the castle.

They made a small wing in the north-western part of the castle and built a terrace and a tower on the main south-east facade. T

he facades of the inner yard were once open with arcade corridors that were later covered by walls. The park long the Opeka castle is rich in exotic plant species, and its design is due to Count Marko Bombelles.
