Žužemberk castle
About This Museum
People don't just come to Žužemberk for the history, they come for the feeling—that sudden, breathtaking moment when the castle's perfect white facade appears, rising from the forest above the Krka River. Inside, you can almost hear the echoes of its former residents, from the powerful Counts of Auersperg to the everyday lives of those who walked these halls for centuries. Don't miss climbing the tower; the view over the rolling green hills of Dolenjska is absolutely worth the effort. It’s less a sterile museum and more a living piece of Slovenian heritage that you're invited to explore.
Collection Highlights
The restored Knights' Hall with its impressive vaulted ceiling, portraits of the Auersperg family that tell their long story, and historical exhibits detailing local life and crafts.
