Slovenia has around 500 castles and I have only seen about 15 so I have a lot more to go. Many castles in Slovenia have museums in them that explore the local history which is part of the reason I enjoy visiting them.<\/p>\n<p>For my 33rd birthday, my husband gifted me two nights in a castle. When he handed me the envelope with a photo of the castle saying we would sleep over I was speechless and just cried I was so happy.

Before 1241 there was a wooden fortification at this site and served several purposes for the Bishopric of Salzburg. There was a later a standoff between the Habsburgs and Hungarian King from 1479 until 1491 when it was then transferred to the Habsburgs.<\/p>\n<p>During the great peasant revolt took place 1515, the Bre\u017eice Castle was burned by the locals after knights captured 500 wives and children and sold them into slavery in Croatia. There were several other incidents of the castle falling into disrepair and being rebuilt again. In the mid-17th century the castle began to pass ownership between nobles who filled it with furniture, restored paintings, filled the moat, and other remodeling efforts. It was nationalized in 1945.<\/p>\n<p>One of the later owners of the castle, count Ignac Maria Attems had a couple rooms painted with baroque art. You can see them when visiting the castle.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2843\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms.png\" alt=\"brezica castle\" width=\"1200\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms.png 1200w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms-370x139.png 370w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms-800x300.png 800w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms-185x69.png 185w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms-740x278.png 740w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms-1110x416.png 1110w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms-20x8.png 20w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms-400x150.png 400w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brezica-castle-painted-rooms-128x48.png 128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Museum_of_Brezice_Castle\"><\/span>Museum of Bre\u017eice Castle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2844\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-1440x960.jpg\" alt=\"Slovenian castle painted knights room in Brezica Castle\" width=\"1170\" height=\"780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-185x123.jpg 185w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-1110x740.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8-72x48.jpg 72w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/slovenian-castles-8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pmb.si\/EN\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Posavje Museum<\/a> is housed in the castle which explores the history of the Posavje region from when it was first settled to modern times.

You are greeted by knight&#8217;s armor outside of the reception. Once we had our room key we ventured up the stairs to the third floor where we would be staying. Let me tell you, when staying in a castle, you feel fancy. So naturally we filled our huge bathtub with bubbly hot water and had some gin and tonics. If you are planning on staying here I advise to stop at a store to buy some refreshments there isn&#8217;t a bar on site or store within walking distance.<\/p>\n<p>Later we went downstairs to the restaurant and we were the only people in the whole place &#8211; this was the first night they opened for the season and we showed up a bit after 9pm. Not to bother the chef we ordered meat and cheese plates that were delicious.

It is a medieval castle in southeastern Slovenia. It is the last stop on the highway from Croatia. We could literally see the border check from our room window. There is almost no history written about this structure. Only that it was first mentioned in 1444 and rebuilt in the 16th century and in 1941 (thanks wiki).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Terme_Catez\"><\/span>Terme \u010cate\u017e<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you stay at Mokrice Castle you also have access to part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terme-catez.si\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Terme \u010cate\u017e<\/a>.

The castle once was the home to the only Trappist Monastery in Slovenia. You can see an entire exhibit about them and the products they produced (chocolate and liquor).<\/p>\n<p>During WW2 the castle had a very unfortunate purpose and was used as a central camp for deporting local Slovenes. Around 45,000 Slovenians were taken from their homes, sent to Croatia, Italy, Austria, or Germany, and Germans came to take over their homes. Now, Brestanica Castle houses a museum, contemporary art exhibits, a cafe, and wedding hall, typical facilities of Slovenian castles that are still in use.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Museum_of_Brestanica_Castle\"><\/span>Museum of Brestanica Castle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2850\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum.png\" alt=\"Brestanica Museum\" width=\"1200\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum.png 1200w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum-370x139.png 370w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum-800x300.png 800w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum-185x69.png 185w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum-740x278.png 740w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum-1110x416.png 1110w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum-20x8.png 20w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum-400x150.png 400w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/brestanica-museum-128x48.png 128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2851\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica.png\" alt=\"Brestanica Museum\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica.png 1200w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica-370x278.png 370w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica-800x600.png 800w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica-20x15.png 20w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica-185x139.png 185w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica-740x555.png 740w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica-1110x833.png 1110w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/wanderinghelene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/trappist-brestanica-64x48.png 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed the museum inside of the castle, similar to the one in Bre\u017eica Castle.
