Velenje Castle
Velenje Castle was a strategically important fortress first mentioned in 1270 from which, together with the neighbouring castles of Šalek and Ekenštajn, various owners in the middle ages controlled the routes from the Celjska kotlina basin to Carinthia.
Today the castle houses the Velenje Museum, established in 1957 as the Museum of Slovene Coalmines. The Velenje Museum gives the castle its full functionality filling the premises with numerous exhibitions. The castle is also a popular venue for various cultural and music events organised by the Velenje Library.
