The castle was probably built by the Salzburgers in the 12th century. In the 16th century, during peasant uprisings, it was destroyed and burned several times and then rebuilt. The Attens family turned it into their residence and arranged the so-called The Knight's Hall, which today represents the only example of baroque secular painting in Slovenia. Today, many concerts and other events are held there.
Since 1949, the Posavski Museum of Brežice has also been operating in the castle, where you can see the archaeological collection from prehistoric times until the arrival of the Slavs in this area, objects from the ethnological collection of the 19th and 20th centuries, the collection of Peasant Revolts from the 16th century and many other interesting things.
