Ribnica as feudal land of the Aquileian Patriarchate was first mentioned in 11th century. Written sources testify [[Ribnica Castle]] two centuries later as Reuienz. Around 1220 the castle was owned by the Auerspergs that got the castle from Žovnek family as dowry. In the middle of the 13th century Ortenburg family divided the land among themselves. In 15th century Counts of Celje got the castle back since they derive from Žovnek family. In dynastic struggles with Habsburgs they lost and Last Count of Celje Ulrik II. was murdered in 1456, so all their possessions got Habsburg family. Many owners changed from 16th to 19th century, Lamberger, Moscon, Gall, Khisel families and the Counts of Kobenzl. Born in [[Ribnica Castle]] was also Slovene famous renaissance composer [[Jacobus Gallus Carniolus]]. | Ribnica as feudal land of the Aquileian Patriarchate was first mentioned in 11th century.
