Reichenburg Castle, Medieval castle in Brestanica, Slovenia.
The castle stands on a hill at the confluence of the Sava River and Brestanica Creek, featuring thick stone walls and defensive towers.
The structure dates from 895, making it Slovenia's earliest recorded castle, with major renovations completed between 1131 and 1147 by Bishop Konrad of Salzburg.
The castle houses multiple museum collections, art exhibitions, and preserves the legacy of Trappist monks who produced chocolate and liqueur in the late 1800s.
Visitors can explore permanent exhibitions, attend cultural events, visit the museum shop, and enjoy refreshments at the restaurant and café inside the castle.
During World War II, German forces used the castle as a deportation center, processing approximately 45,000 Slovenes before it later became a women's prison.
