The Classicist paintings in the castle rank amongst the best in the country. There is also a library (see below), a historical exhibition entitled 'Ormož, Developed from Tradition', a wine shop and an art gallery.
The castle park is considered one of the most beautiful parks in Slovenia; in it grow an orange tree, a tulip tree, a ginkgo, and other exotic plants. In front of the castle is a memorial avenue devoted to the major figures of Ormož and the surrounding area.
