Abstract

Despite numerous later re-buildings, the castle has survived the ravages of time and occupies, due to the number and quality of preserved Romanesque elements, the very apex of Romanesque architecture in Slovenia. Since 1983 it has been under systematic renovation by the Kozjanski Park Public Cultural Institution.

Part of the castle is used for the permanent exhibitions, while another part (the former granary) houses a gallery, and the Great Hall and surrounding rooms are used for seminars and occasional exhibitions. A particular attraction is the castle kitchen, to which the renovation has lent the appearance of a medieval kitchen. There are permanent exhibitions of glassworks, 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.

The castle is the venue for an annual Summer Music programme organised by Kozjanski Park Public Cultural Institution.
