First mentioned in 1278, Ormož Castle was built by Friderik of Ptuj. The oldest part of the castle is the tower. Various noble families owned the property down the centuries, including the Schaumbergs, the Frankopans, the Szekelys, the Pauers, and latterly the Counts of Wurmbrand. 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.
