The paths of the Kozjansko hills lead to hidden corners where time stops and history is still alive. There the mighty Podsreda Castle, one of Slovenia’s best-preserved 12th-century Romanesque fortresses, rises above the valley and the medieval town Podsreda.

The castle is located in the heart of the protected area of Kozjansko Regional Park, the largest regional park in Slovenia, which offers a wide range of opportunities for an unforgettable holiday with its unspoilt nature, biodiversity, rich cultural heritage, and local cuisine, as well as the warm-heartedness of the local people.

All this has helped to attract more and more visitors to our area, who seek genuine contact with nature and a unique experience of the natural and cultural wonders of the surroundings.

In 2020, the Municipality of Kozje followed the wishes of visitors and set up three rooms and three apartments in the lower outbuilding of Podsreda Castle, which are managed by the Kozjansko Park Public Institute.

This innovative project of castle accommodations follows the basic guidelines of the Kozjansko Regional Park, where we believe that sustainable management and care for the natural environment are the only true way to go.

Aware that our actions impact the environment, the local community, and the preservation of natural and cultural heritage, we have made it a priority to work closely with the local community, food and drink producers, local suppliers and traditional craft practitioners, and to foster a positive attitude towards our environment.

We want to share these principles with our guests, so when designing our apartments and rooms and preparing our offer, we have teamed up with local artists, producers, and craftsmen.

The following link provides a brief description of all the local collaborators who, in their own way, have each left their mark on the castle’s accommodation and contributed a tiny piece to the mosaic of your castle experience.
