Did you know?

Nowhere in Slovenia will you find so many castles in such a small area as in Posavje. That is why it is often called the Slovenian “land of castles”.

The Trappists at Rajhenburg Castle, who adhered strictly to the “pray and work” principle, produced excellent Trappist cheese in the monastery, and also commenced the industrial production of chocolate and liqueurs that were sold all over Europe under the imperial brand.

Brežice Castle boasts a castle cellar dug into the living rock, where are stored the best vintage wines from Brežice, and the Knight's Hall, where the old music festival is held, and which has also been used as a backdrop for several foreign films.

V historičnem objektu nekdanjega cistercijanskega samostana Kostanjevica na Krki danes deluje Galerija Božidar Jakac. Je ena izmed največjih slovenskih galerij po površini razstavnih prostorov, razstavljenem gradivu in likovnemu fondu.
