Stari Pisker, World War II memorial prison in Celje, Slovenia.
The Stari Pisker building features thick stone walls, iron-barred windows, and a central courtyard where executions occurred during wartime occupation.
German forces used this prison between 1941 and 1944 for detaining resistance members, executing 374 prisoners before partisans liberated 300 inmates.
The memorial room, established in 1965, displays artifacts and documents that commemorate the prisoners who lost their lives during World War II.
Located at Prešernova 20 in central Celje, visitors can access guided tours of the memorial site throughout the week by prior arrangement.
Heinrich Himmler personally inspected this prison during the war, marking its role as a significant detention facility in Nazi-occupied Slovenia.
