Castle Ptuj
|
Castle hill has been inhabited since the 5th millennium BC. The inhabitants of ancient Petoviona built a fortress and sanctuaries on it, and in the early Middle Ages there was a Slavic burial ground here. The medieval fortress was built in the 11th century, when the castle and the town were owned by the Archdiocese of Salzburg. The archbishops gave the castle to the lords of Ptuj, who, during their three-hundred-year stay in Ptuj, founded a Dominican and Minorite monastery and built a pilgrimage church on Ptujska Gora. The tombstone of the last lord of Ptuj, Frederik IX, is built into the castle's ground floor.
