The Museum of Political Prisoners, Internees and Deportees is housed at [[Rajhenburg Castle]] in Brestanica, the oldest medieval castle in Slovenia, first described in 895. The original structure was demolished at the beginning of the 10th century, but Bishop Konrad of Salzburg had it renovated between 1131 and 1147. The most prominent owners of the castle were the Rajhenburgs, the noble Moscons, the Knights Gradeneck, the Barons Gall Galenstein and the Counts Attems. After 1884 Trappist monks moved into the castle, where they produced chocolate and liqueur. Then in April 1941 the Castle was converted into a Nazi camp for deporting Slovenes. During the course of World War II around 45,000 Slovenes were sent into exile from here. After World War II the castle continued to function as a prison, but in 1968 it was converted into a museum.
