SEVNICA CASTLE

Exceptional history, a place of culture and art. Sevnica Castle.

Sevnica Castle stands proudly on a scenic hill above the old town center of Sevnica, on the site of an earlier fort believed to have been built in the first half of the 12th century.


It was first mentioned in written records in 1309 as “castellum Liechtenwalde.” Unlike many other castles, it escaped destruction during the Croatian–Slovenian Peasant Revolt of 1573.

From that period dates the Lutheran Cellar, which was occasionally visited by Jurij Dalmatin (c. 1547–1589) and later became the burial chamber of several Sevnica noble families. Today, its remarkable acoustics make it a unique venue for concerts and cultural events.


In recent years, extensive renovation work has restored both the castle and its surroundings, creating a stunning medieval panorama together with the old town below.
