​SEVNICA CASTLE

Sevniška Castle was probably built in the 12th century. It rises above the city center of Sevnica and the banks of the Sava River. Unlike many other castles, it was not destroyed during the peasant uprisings. Among the many special features of the castle is the Lutheran cellar, which Jurij Dalmatin is said to have visited in the 16th century and, among other things, later served as the tomb of some Sevniš manors, but otherwise little is known about its origins. An essential component of the cellar is its painting, which represents a rare example of the painting technique in oil tempera on a conventional painting base and is an example of mannerism in the painting of the 16th century. Due to its excellent acoustics, it is suitable for holding concerts and other events.
