Castle Maribor

Without the preserved stories and the ones who tell them, every building would just be something of brick and stones. It is the stories of the people of the past who have lived, laughed, loved, cried, been born and died, which breathe life into these old spaces and the storytellers who make sure the future does not forget them all. Today, Maribor castle is composed of two parts, the administrative court of the sovereign prince, built between 1478 and 1481, and the North-eastern corner of the city’s defence system (the castle’s bastion and the lodge).

In 1620, when the Counts Khiessl gained ownership of the castle, they converted it to the nobleman’s residential architecture. At that time, the Loretto chapel was added to the castle and the Knights’ Hall was constructed. After 1727, the new owners, Counts Brandis, built the new staircase, reconstructed the first floor of the bastion and completed construction of the Knights’ Hall. With the construction of the present day street Grajska ulica in the year 1871, the castle complex was cut in half. The municipality of Maribor bought the castle in 1933. It was in 1938, when the Maribor Regional Museum moved its collections in.
