Planina Castle, Castle ruin in Planina pri Sevnici, Slovenia
The castle ruins contain a Romanesque core with Gothic elements in the southern wall and Renaissance features in the entrance and northwestern defensive wall.
First documented in 1190, the castle passed to the Counts of Celje in 1341 when Ulrich of Sanneck acquired it from Henry and Ulrich of Ptuj.
German-speaking writer Ana Warmbrechtsammer, who lived near the ruins from 1897 to 1933, wrote a historical novel about the Counts of Celje.
The castle granary remains available for receptions, while a new observation tower provides views across the surrounding landscape from its northeastern slope.
The lower sections of the castle wall feature an opus spicatum pattern, forming a distinctive herringbone design that resembles cereal spikes.
