Vinica Castle

Vinica Castle, perched above the Kolpa River in southeastern Slovenia, is a striking example of medieval architecture with a history stretching back to 1082. Originally built on the foundations of a Roman fort, the castle has witnessed centuries of change, including attacks, fires, and periods of abandonment. Today, it stands beautifully restored, blending its storied past with modern comfort and style.

The castle’s recent renovation has transformed it into a boutique destination, offering three uniquely designed apartments. Each suite features custom-made interiors, wooden bathtubs, and spacious terraces that open onto lush gardens and panoramic views of the surrounding hills and river. The castle’s blend of organic stone, glass, and wood creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that honors its heritage while providing contemporary luxury.

Vinica Castle is more than just a place to stay—it’s a venue for special events, from intimate weddings to corporate retreats, set amid tranquil gardens and scenic nature. Guests can enjoy breakfast on the terrace, swim in the river below, or explore nearby attractions such as the thermal spa at Dolenjske Toplice, local golf courses, and hiking trails.

Located near the Croatian border and within easy reach of the sea and Zagreb International Airport, Vinica Castle offers a unique blend of history, relaxation, and natural beauty, making it a memorable stop for travelers exploring Slovenia’s Bela Krajina region.
