The largest medieval castle in Slovenia, Celje Castle stands on a 407-meter high hill and offers a magnificent view of the city of Celje. It was originally built in the early 13th century and rebuilt a century later. The ascent to the castle is not long and takes about half an hour. When you arrive at the castle, you can take a walk and use a little of your imagination to travel back in time or enjoy the beautiful view over the city and the river Savinja flowing through it. For those who want to know more about the history of the castle, there are various guided tours. Celje Castle is best known for the most influential late-medieval aristocratic dynasty on the Slovenian territory today - the Counts of Celje, who lived in the castle. Some of her descendants are still alive today. This fortress was renovated and rebuilt when the first Earl of Celje - Frederik I moved there with his wife and four children and began their dynasty. After the death of the Counts of Celje, the castle was inherited by the Habsburgs.
