Cmurek Castle, Medieval castle in Trate, Slovenia.

The stone castle rises on a steep cliff above the Mura River, featuring Renaissance arcades and a central courtyard with residential wings.

The fortress, first documented in 1148, belonged to the Cmurek nobles before passing to the Counts of Celje and later the Stubenberg family until 1931.

The Museum of Madness occupies the castle premises since 2014, presenting exhibitions about the Mura River and the building's institutional past.

The Amazon of Europe Bike Trail passes near the castle, connecting visitors to the broader network of regional cycling routes.

From 1956 to 2004, the medieval structure functioned as an institution for mental health patients, housing up to 400 individuals at its peak.
