Celje Castle, Medieval castle in Celje, Slovenia.
The castle structure extends across three hills and contains multiple defensive towers, fortified walls, and a central four-story Frederick's Tower.
The fortress, first documented in 1322 as 'purch Cylie', served as the residence of the Counts of Celje during their rise to power.
The castle grounds host medieval reenactments, theater performances, and the annual Veronikini večeri festival celebrating literature and performing arts.
The castle offers guided tours, exhibitions, and medieval feasts, with access available by car, bus, bicycle, or walking paths from Celje center.
Archaeological excavations since 1972 revealed numerous artifacts and architectural elements, contributing to understanding medieval life in Central Europe.
