Zaprice Castle
Background
The castle has repeatedly changed the owners, the latest private proprietors were Rechbachs until 1945, when it was nationalised and transformed into multi residential building. Soon after the castle was dedicated to museum headquarters, who investigated and renovated it in next years.
The castle is surrounded by the terraced park and the wall, the dairy farm at the entrance of the complex, two pavilions, late Gothic sign and the open-air museum of granaries from Tuhinj Valley. There is also archaeological site at the east façade of the castle, where the foundation of apsidal wall, the bronze fibula and a few fragments of an ancient glass were found.
The castle houses permanent and temporary exhibitions of Thonet bentwood furniture, of the middle classes of Kamnik in the 19th century, of the pastoral heritage from Velika planina, and the lapidary (for details see: Kamnik Intermunicipal Museum).
