Celje Castle (also known as Celje Upper Castle or Old Castle) (Slovene Celjski grad, Celjski zgornji grad or Stari grad) is a castle ruin in Celje, Slovenia, formerly the seat of the Counts of Celje.
•
In 1333, the castle came into the possession of the Lords of Sanneck, who from 1341 onward were the Counts of Celje.
•
Two years later, Bernard Raunacher briefly held this position, but the emperor ordered him to hand authority to Gašper Herbst and to make do with the income generated by Rudolfswert (later Novo Mesto).
•
The best stones were then re-used in the construction of the Novo Celje Mansion between Petrovče and Žalec.
