Murska Sobota Castle

Rebuilt in Renaissance style at the end of the 16th century on the foundations of a 13th-century fortification, the Murska Sobota Castle was restored in the mid-18th century. It stands on a flat piece of land in the middle of the town of Murska Sobota, in the axis of an extensive park, arranged in landscape style that stretches from the monument of the National Liberation War to the castle itself. The first floor of the castle has been occupied by the Murska Sobota Regional Museum since 1956. Nowadays it hosts also the MIKK Youth Information Cultural Club, KRIK Multimedia Centre Pomurje, and a restaurant. The festival hall is a popular venue for cultural events.
