The Radlje Manor (in the past also known as the Mahrenberg Manor) was built at the beginning of the 17th century on the site of a building that was part of the old castle on the Kamen Hill. Its present-day appearance is quite different from the original mansion, except for the courtyard arcades. In the 20th century, a 17th-century sandstone portal from a nearby monastery, featuring the coats of arms of Sigfrid of Mahrenberg and prioress Marija Ivana Linzer, was brought to the manor and incorporated into it. Surrounding the manor is an English garden with various tree species such as firs, Douglas firs, junipers, sycamores and red oaks.
After World War II, the manor served educational purposes. In 2012, the Radlje ob Dravi Museum moved into the building. After 2020, the building underwent a comprehensive renovation, carried out by the Municipality of Radlje ob Dravi in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture.
Renovation
The renovation of the manor, completed in 2026, provided better conditions for museum activities. The project included construction of a new entrance adapted for people with disabilities. The renovation also connected different parts of the manor that had previously been divided into several separate units. In addition, the exhibition spaces were digitalised. The main museum exhibition was reconceptualized and is now focused on the topic of forests and sustainable forest management in the Drava Valley and beyond.
As part of the renovation, a new teahouse and an arts residency were also established in the manor, while the attic spaces will be converted into a gallery with a permanent exhibition showcasing the work of the painter Miro Hajnc.
