Its name, in fact, derives from the Austrian town of Cmurek (Mureck). From 1955 till 2004 it housed the Institution for mentally disabled Hrastovec – Trate. Nine years after its abandonment the castle became a nexus for a local initiative focused on the [[Museum of Madness]]. The cross-border innovative project strives to reactualise, detabooise and revitalise the castle. In 2008 the castle was declared a cultural monument. |
