History
Originally known as Hörberg Castle, Podsreda was built in the first half of the 12th century by the Breže-Seliški counts (first mentioned in 1213). The high defence tower, Great Hall and tower with chapel were added to the original simple square form in a later period. The castle changed hands numerous times in the ensuing centuries, until Count Sigmund von Tattenbach acquired a permanent and hereditary title to it in 1617. In around 1848 the estate was bought by Duke Weriand von Windischgrätz and remained in the Windischgrätz family thereafter until the end of the World War II.
Exhibitions and events
There are permanent exhibitions of glassworks and an exhibition about the history of the castle. A collection of colour woodcuts from around 1860 illustrating medieval furnishings and clothes, plus colour lithographs of castles in Štajerska from the 1830s and 1860s donated by Kurt Müller, a regular guest of the Rogaška Slatina spa for many years. A particular attraction is a functional castle kitchen, to which the renovation has lent the appearance of a medieval kitchen.
The castle is the venue for an annual Summer Music programme organised by Kozjanski Park Public Institute.
International cooperation
The castle has been included in the Ema's Roman Path (funded through Interreg III A Slovenia-Austria) that connects the places linked to the life of the Saint Hema (Ema Krška). Romarska pot poteka v Avstriji in Sloveniji. The Kozjanski Park Public Cultural Institution is also a partner in the TRANSROMANICA – The Romanesque Routes of European Heritage project (funded through Interreg III B Cadses). The Podsreda Castle is one of the five Romanic monuments in Europe that form a common tourist trail.
