Ribnica Castle, Renaissance castle in Ribnica, Slovenia

The remaining structure of Ribnica Castle consists of two defense towers connected by a passage, situated in the center of Ribnica town.

First documented as Castrum Reuienz in 1264, the castle changed ownership from the Auersperg family to the Rudež family through multiple centuries.

The castle museum presents three exhibitions focusing on wooden-ware, pottery traditions, local history, and information about European witch trials.

The castle grounds include an open-air theatre, concert space, and a Cultural Park featuring sculptures created by Slovene artists in the 1980s.

Between 1958 and 1961, the castle underwent renovation works to transform its remaining structures into a museum and wedding ceremony venue.
