Tivoli Castle, Manor house in Rožnik District, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Tivoli Castle is a white manor house at the end of Jakopič Promenade in Tivoli Park, Ljubljana. Its facade follows a Neoclassical style with evenly spaced windows and restrained decorative details.

A tower owned by Georg Apfalterer stood above the site in the early 15th century and was destroyed by Frederick II, Count of Celje, in 1440. The present mansion was built in the 17th century on the ruins of a Renaissance castle. After the Jesuit order was suppressed in 1773, it passed to the Diocese of Ljubljana. Radetzky renovated it in the Neoclassical style after receiving it in 1852.

The building houses the International Centre of Graphic Arts, which shows printmaking work from artists around the world. The exhibitions change regularly, giving visitors a reason to return and discover new works each time.

The castle sits at the end of a long straight path through the park, making it easy to find on foot from the city. Parking is available nearby, and the paths leading to the entrance are accessible for visitors with limited mobility.

Four cast iron dog sculptures by Anton Fernkorn stand at the entrance, and a local legend claims their tongues are missing. Visitors who look closely can judge for themselves whether the story holds up.
