Bizeljsko Castle, Castle in Bizeljska vas, Slovenia.

Bizeljsko Castle is a fortified residence in Bizeljska vas situated on elevated terrain in southeastern Slovenia. The complex includes residential buildings, defensive walls, and a Baroque chapel within its grounds.

Bizeljsko Castle is first mentioned in 1404 as castrum Vysell, held by the knights of Bizeljsko; a knight Eberhard von Visel appears in records as early as 1278. It passed through the lords of Kozje, Dobrna and Soteški before the Tattenbach counts received it as a fief in 1532 and bought it as hereditary property around 1608. In 1858 Prince Weriand Alois Windischgrätz purchased the estate and joined it to Kunšperk Castle.

The castle's name appears in German as Wisell, and the estate passed by inheritance and purchase through the Tattenbach, Wildenstein, Dietrichstein and Windisch-Graetz families. In 1941 Christiane Ceschi a Santa Croce received it as a dowry and moved in with Baron Nikolaus Maasburg. Since 1971 the Klakočar family, who run a wine business, have lived at the castle.

A forest footpath leads to the entrance of this national monument in the Municipality of Brežice. The walk is accessible on foot and provides a natural approach to the site.

The castle chapel of St. Jerome, dating from 1623, has a two-storey gallery, one of the very rare examples of its kind in Slovenia, especially among chapels. The main building has a restored roof, but the interior furnishings and the chapel are deteriorating through insufficient state maintenance.
