Ludbreg is a town in Croatia, located halfway between Varaždin and Koprivnica near the river Drava.

In 1320 the city was mentioned for the first time as Castrum Ludbreg, when owned by Hungarian noble Nicholas Ludbregi.

[5] The town gained fame after the eucharistic miracle, which happened in the castle chapel in 1411 and was investigated and confirmed by Pope Leo X in 1513.

[citation needed] In the late 19th and early 20th century, Ludbreg was a district capital in Varaždin County of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.

[citation needed] On 24 April 1932, the town saw a protest that was one of the earliest open acts of resistance against the 6 January Dictatorship.
