Pišece Castle, Medieval castle in Pišece, Slovenia
The stone castle stands on a rocky elevation surrounded by forested hills in the southeastern part of Slovenia, near the Municipality of Brežice.
The initial structure, mentioned as 'haus Pischaetz' in 1329, served as a strategic fortification for the Archbishops of Salzburg on their eastern Posavje properties.
A wall painting from the early 18th century adorns a first-floor room, depicting the castles previously under Moscon family ownership.
The castle grounds feature an English-style park with three sequoia trees, sycamores, catalpa, and ginkgo trees, plus a spring-fed pond.
The name Bishaz appears in medieval texts, interpreted as 'bei der Shanz' meaning 'by the trenches', suggesting an ancient fortress location.
