Little Castle
About This Museum
Perched on a hill overlooking the charming town of Kamnik, Little Castle isn't your typical grand fortress—it feels more like a secret garden with a historic heart. You won't find vast, echoing halls here; instead, it's an intimate space where history feels personal and close. The real magic is in the way it blends its stunning alpine views with a collection that tells the story of the town itself. It’s the kind of place that invites you to linger, to imagine the lives that unfolded within these walls over the centuries.
Collection Highlights
The museum's treasures include poignant memorials from World War I, fascinating archaeological finds dug up from the local area, and a wonderfully preserved collection of historic furniture. One of its most cherished exhibits is dedicated to France Cvelbar, a beloved local photographer whose work captures Kamnik's soul across different eras.
Visitor Information
Wandering through its cozy rooms and then stepping out into the serene castle garden is an absolute delight. Be sure to climb up for the view—the panorama of Kamnik with the jagged Kamnik-Savinja Alps as a backdrop is simply unforgettable.
Architecture & Building
It's a beautifully rustic structure, originally built in the 11th century, with Romanesque foundations peeking through and later Gothic additions that give it its distinctive, layered character.
