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