Podčetrtek Castle
(Grad Podčetrtek)
The enormous Renaissance-style Podčetrtek Castle, atop a 355m-high
hill to the northwest of town, went up sometime in the mid-16th century but was badly
damaged by an earthquake in 1974. The castle (not open to the public but offering views)
can be easily reached by walking north along Trška cesta and then west on Cesta na Grad
for about 1.5km.
