On Saturday, 1 December 2012, the Rajhenburg
(Reichenburg) Castle reintroduced itself to the
public after a two-year renovation. The castle building,
which has dominated the steep rocky cliff over
the outflow of the Brestanica stream into the Sava
River for more than nine centuries, is given a new
appearance and, with it, an assurance that it will be
preserved for many generations to come. In this
respect, Rajhenburg is a confluence of fortunate circumstances,
combining the will of the local community
and adequate financial means to ensure a
relatively rapid and overall renovation. Many other
castle buildings in Slovenia do not share the same
fortune, continuing to crumble before our very eyes.
Therefore, we can only hope that Rajhenburg will
serve as a shining example for other castle renovations
in the future...
