Gornja Radgona Castle, Medieval castle in Gornja Radgona, Slovenia

The stone castle stands on a hill overlooking the Mura River, featuring a two-story building with metal-covered gates and the Herberstein family blazon.

Built between 1147 and 1182, the castle controlled 40 villages and 355 farms by 1265, marking its position as a strategic fortress on the Styrian-Hungarian border.

The castle maintains a wedding hall within its walls, continuing its centuries-old tradition as a center for regional social gatherings and celebrations.

Visitors can access the castle via the main road connecting Murska Sobota to Maribor, with a 50-meter chestnut tree promenade leading to the entrance.

The castle contains a remarkable 56-meter deep well in its structure, demonstrating medieval engineering capabilities and water supply systems.
