    "Žužemberk was first mentioned in writing in 1246, and the town received market rights in 1399. For centuries, the castle and town were owned by the important noble family Auersperg. The brothers Georg and Wolf von Auersperg bought them from King Ferdinand I in 1538. In the 16th In the 19th century, Žužemberk was repeatedly attacked by the Turks, so the castle there was refortified and expanded.

    During the Second World War, Italian occupation troops were stationed in the castle. They were successfully driven out by a partisan unit in December 1942. The partisans then burned down the castle. In February 1945 Žužemberk was shelled by Allied bombers with rockets."
