​RAJHENBURG CASTLE

In the first half of the 12th century, the Rajhenburg Castle was built on a rocky outcrop above Brestanica and the Sava River by Archbishop Konrad of Salzburg. Over the centuries, the castle acquired its present appearance with its many owners. In 1881, the castle was bought by the Trappists and converted into a monastery, which operated until 1941, when the German occupation authorities converted the castle and its buildings into a resettlement camp for the expulsion of Slovenes. It was nationalized in 1947, and a prison operated there until 1966. On the foundations of the Trappist heritage, the Kunej chocolate shop, a wine gallery, a castle cafe, and a castle pastry shop operate within the castle. While walking through the castle, you can see several extremely interesting exhibitions, such as Trappists from Rajhenburg, Castle furniture from the 18th and 19th centuries, Slovenian exiles 1941 - 1945, Primož Kozmos - Honors, Clothing appearance of the Rahjenburgs and other exhibitions.
