He is remembered as the ban who abolished serfdom in Croatia in 1848. In his memory a monument was placed on the central square in Zagreb in the second half of the 20th century, work of a Viennese master Anton Fernkorn. After WW II, the monument was dismantled and removed from the square by communists. Fortunately it had been preserved and renewed in 1990 when it was brought back to the [[Zagreb]] central square that was named after him.

Novi Dvori, one of the most valuable and best preserved feudal farming complexes in Croatia, represents the main attraction. Zajarki Lake lies south of the centre, towards the Sava river. This artificial lake, created by shingle extraction, has become a popular bathing resort not only for Zapresic but also for the Zagreb population. Further to the Sava there is a special ornithological reserve Zapresic - Sava, an important nesting and resting ground for migratory birds. It is surrounded by a forest, and comprises thick low vegetation interspersed with small portions of wetland. The motocross in nearby Savski Marof is an attractive and, for this region, especially important sports event. Rich fishing grounds on the nearby rivers Krapina and Sava and their tributaries attract many anglers.
