The castle chapel was the original home of world-famous statues of St Barbara and St Katarina which date from 1410 and are now kept in Ptuj Regional Museum.
In the 1980s six rooms in the castle were set aside for the display of an ethnological collection which now comprises about 800 objects. These date from the latter half of the 19th century onwards and illustrate the material, spiritual and social culture in the municipality of Ormož. Traditional Shrovetide masks from the Ormož region are also exhibited on the castle stairway.
