In 1965 the prison was opened as a memorial site to victims of Nazi violence, with a memorial courtyard and a memorial room in the former torture-chamber. It was discretely renovated in 1995. [[Celje Museum of Recent History]] holds this site as its dislocated permanent exhibition. Rest of the building around memorial inner yard is penitentiary for juvenile offenders today still. | In 1965 the prison was opened as a memorial site to victims of Nazi violence, with a memorial courtyard and a memorial room in the former torture-chamber.
