Brežice Castle, Renaissance castle in Brežice, Slovenia

The four-tower castle spans two floors and features defensive walls, standing prominently on the left bank of the Sava River in southeastern Slovenia.

Originally constructed before 1241 as a wooden fortification, the current structure was rebuilt in the 16th century following destruction during a peasant revolt.

The Knight's Hall contains extensive fresco paintings commissioned by Count Ignac Maria Attems, displaying scenes from mythology and architectural elements.

The Posavje Museum occupies the castle premises since 1949, presenting exhibitions about regional heritage from ancient times through the 20th century.

The castle housed a mint and judicial chambers during medieval times, serving as an administrative center for the Bishopric of Salzburg's holdings.
