Castle Velika Nedelja
Not far from the parish church there is a castle which used to be the Commandry of the Teutonic Knights order and was first mentioned in 1273. The basic structure must have been built around 1200 when Friedrich of Ptuj, ministerial of Salzburg, took possession of the land around Velika Nedelja with the help of the German knights’ order. The castle medieval core has been preserved in the south-western part of the castle building, although the Renaissance building elements prevail. Restoration procedures that followed it construction, and especially those undertaken between 1723 and 1730, did not considerably alter the outside appearance of the castle. Mondays – Fridays 8 am – 3 pm Saturday 9 am - 2 pm On 24 and 31 December and on the carnival Tuesday am 8 - 12 noon Sunday and public holidays closed, sightseeing is possible after prior announcement.
