Podčetrtek Castle, Medieval castle in Podčetrtek, Slovenia.

Podčetrtek Castle stands on a rocky hill with two round towers and a square-shaped two-story building constructed around 1520. The structure comprises multiple rooms used as galleries and exhibition spaces.

The first written record dates to 1361, when the castle served as a strategic point near borders with Croatia and Hungary. Later construction shaped the building's characteristic structures that survive today.

The castle galleries and attic spaces present works by local and international artists, fostering artistic dialogue in the region. Visitors encounter contemporary and classical pieces while walking through these rooms.

The castle is accessible between April and October on most days with regular visiting hours. Check specific times before visiting, as hours vary by season and may differ on certain days.

The castle contains an unusually high number of toilet facilities compared to other castles from the same period in the region. This practical detail reflects thoughtful planning during its 16th-century renovation.
