    The man at the reception is really friendly. He gave our daugter a paper crown. Inside there are two open towers holding a museum, bar and that's basically it. Gor for an hours or max two.

    Spacious castle with little shade in the outdoor area, but a lot of rooms to visit at your own pace and read about the rich history. Well-equipped torture room. Attentive and professional employees. Be sure to visit the castle café with your 1€ discount! Free parking right at the castle; on a weekday only half full.

    I observed this castle for 25 years as I drove through Celje and I always said to myself, one day. Today was that day and I can only say, this is one of the most beautiful and interesting castles in Slovenia. Very interesting to see for both children and adults.
