Sevnica is a town in the heart of Slovenia, where Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, spent her childhood and youth. Here your eyes can rest on the vast green landscape variegated by the longest Slovenian river, the Sava. Sevnica Castle proudly dominates the centre and offers the most beautiful vistas over the town and the surrounding forest-covered area. The rounded hills are adorned by small white churches and shrines. If you have an adventurous spirit, you can’t miss the Ajdovski gradec archaeological park, where the story of the first settlers in this part of Slovenia is told. The town’s combination of rich history, picturesque nature and modern feel will satisfy any taste.
It is difficult to overlook, since Sevnica Castle is situated above the town like a guard, standing proud in all its glory. Learn about its past and fully indulge in its present. Experience an unforgettable wedding in the romantic environment of the castle. Taste the velvety flavour of the castle wine, Grajska kri, in the castle’s wine cellar and become a godparent to the vines of Blaufränkisch, cultivated on the southern slope of the castle hill. Enjoy the exceptional acoustics of the Lutheran Cellar and admire its frescoes. A castle feast is also a special experience, which will take you back to a time before cutlery was used at the table. Take a stroll in the castle park and restore your energy from the energy points found by magnificent trees.
