A hospitable, clean, well-kept and quiet guest house of the Dominican Sisters in the monastery of Cazis. I had booked a tasty breakfast for the overnight stay. If I can, I would like to spend a few days there again. I can highly recommend it.

Very friendly, attentive sisters in a lively, not outdated convent. If you wish to have a conversation or pastoral care, you can be accompanied by well-trained sisters. Real spiritual atmosphere, beautifully designed prayer times with polyphonic singing, harp and organ. Quiet rooms in a well-kept house. Good home cooking served by sisters. Beautiful walks in the immediate vicinity, monastery garden invites you to linger. A place to unwind and recharge :-)

A place of peace and strength to recharge your batteries for everyday life. Wonderful walks in the area and wonderful food then in the monastery. And always take part in the devotions with the sisters throughout the day. This also strengthens for the "world out there" again.

Celje Castle

Celje Castle was once the largest fortification on Slovenian territory. The first fortified building on the site (a Romanesque palace) was built in the first half of the 13th century by the Counts of Heunburg from Carinthia on the stony outcrop on the western side of the ridge where the castle stands. It had five sides, or four plus the southern side, which was a natural defence. The first written records of the castle date back to between 1125 and 1137; it was probably built by Count Gunter. In the western section of the castle, there was a building with several floors. Remains of the walls of this palatium have survived. In the eastern section, there was an enclosed courtyard with large water reservoirs. The eastern wall, which protects the castle from its most exposed side, was around three metres thicker than the rest of the curtain wall. The wall was topped with a parapet and protected walkway.
