History Vrbovec is a very old settlement. The first written trace of its existence dates back to 1244. It is the document issued by King Bela IV. confirming that the King Koloman gave Vrbovec to the district-prefect Junko as a gift. In 1398 Vrbovec becomes part of the Rakovec manorial estate and stays as such until 1848 when serfdom was abolished. In its turbulent past the Vrbovec – Rakovec manorial estate changed many feudal lords. The golden period for Vrbovec was the 18th century. That is when the district court and administration authorities were established, along with elementary school. Around the year 1800 Vrbovec got its post office and in 1870 a railway. The Vrbovec Castle was first mentioned in 1528, and was built to protect against the Turks. Later on it comes into possession of the Zrinski, Erdödy, Patačić and other families. In 1621 Petar Zrinski was born there. Only the round tower has remained today. The parish church of St. Vitus mentioned as early as 1338 was reconstructed in the baroque style with a steeple next to the shrine and porch adjacent to the main facade. Inside the church there are baroque altars, big wooden crucifix, chalice from 1722, monstrance and reliquary. The bells were cast by the famous masters Schifrer from Zagreb (1803) and Papst from Varaždin (1846). The rectory built in 1818 is especially beautiful. On the graveyard there is a baroque chapel of the Three Holy Kings, and the family de Piennes mausoleum with the remains of benefactor marquis Eugene de Piennes. Mausoleum was built of Swedish granite, and is the work of H. Ehrlich and V. Kovačić. Today it is a zero cathegory monument.

Povijest kraja Vrbovec je staro naselje. Prvi pisani trag o njegovu postojanju datira iz 1244. godine. To je dokument kralja Bele IV. iz travnja te godine kojim potvrđuje da je kralj Koloman darovao Vrbovec županu Junku. Godine 1398. Vrbovec se pripaja gospoštiji Rakovec i ostaje s njom povezan sve do ukinuća kmetstva, 1848. godine. U burnoj je povijesti gospoštija Vrbovec – Rakovec promijenila mnoge feudalne gospodare. Vrbovec svoj procvat doživljava u XVIII. stoljeću. Sredinom tog stoljeća uspostavlja se kotarska sudska i upravna vlast, otvara se osnovna škola. Vrbovec dobiva poštu, a 1870. godine stiže i željeznica. Kaštel u Vrbovcu prvi se puta spominje 1528. godine, tvrđava je podignuta za obranu od Turaka. Kasnije je to posjed Zrinskih, Erdödyja, pa opet Zrinskih, Patačića i drugih. Tu je 1621. godine rođen Petar Zrinski. Od kaštela danas postoji samo valjkasta kula. Župna crkva sv. Vida, koja se spominje još 1338. godine, barokizirana je starija građevina, sa zvonikom uz svetište i trijemom uz glavno pročelje. U crkvi su barokni oltari, veliko drveno raspelo, kalež iz 1722. godine, pacifikal iz 1725. godine, pokaznica, relikvijar. Zvona su lijevali poznati majstori Schifrer iz Zagreba (1803. godine) i Papst iz Varaždina (1846. godina). Među lijepim se stilskim katnicama u Vrbovcu posebno ističe župni dvor, podignut 1818. godine. Na groblju je vrijedno pogledati baroknu kapelu Tri sveta kralja, te mauzolej obitelji de Piennes, u kojem je pokopan dobrotvor i donator markiz Eugene de Piennes. Mauzolej je sagrađen od švedskog granita, djelo je H. Ehrlicha i V. Kovačića i spomenik je nulte kategorije.
