Radgona Castle

Perched 265 metres above the Mura River, Radgona Castle commands a story‑book panorama of rolling vineyards and river meadows. Founded in the 12th century by the Slovene noble Radigoj – whose name the castle and town still bear – the stronghold has grown from a compact watchtower into a graceful hill‑top residence. A baroque gateway, still studded with iron and scarred by the chains of its former drawbridge, ushers visitors into an arcaded courtyard. Inside, a two‑storey palace, cellars hewn deep into the hill and a 56‑metre well reveal how self‑sufficient life once was behind these walls. Climb the towers for a sweeping view and feel why Radgona has long been the guardian of Styria’s wine country.
