ABANDONED CASTLE @adamicelli
The castle Gonobitz in Slovenske Konjice,Slovenia was once a pearl in the Dravinja Valley. It used to be the home of the Family Tattenbach. The first owners were the Knights of Konjice. This castle was in use from 1147 till 1826.
Here is a painting of the castle from the 17th century:
This area of our country used to be important in the Habsburg Times as a trade center.
Nearby lies an abandoned Monastery Žička Kartuzija, here is a photo that i took a couple of weeks ago:
In the Castle is an museum which is unfortunately closed.

The road to the castle:
From the castle is a trekking path to the highest peak of the Konjiška Gora Mountain. I will make some photos of the Mountain in the near future.
I love how nature took this old window. It looks like the opening to heaven:
I hope you liked my photos of our abandoned castle in Slovenske Konjice,Slovenia.

Awesome shots! I love castles and appreciate the stories behind their existence.
Thank you! I love them too, as a kid i used to read books about castle and medieval times. We are lucky in Slovenia, that we have plenty of abandoned castles. I will try to share them with you. In my area we have at least 4 castles and 2 abandoned Monasteries.
You do 😮? I would have the time of my life there. Please share, I'd love that; followed!
Will do! After the holidays! I have them on my list:
Monastery Žička Kartuzija
and Castle Statenberg
This is all around 20km from my hometown. Will post photos of all them and some stories!
Lawd! They all look so enchanting. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to your posts on the same. Happy holidays!
