Rihembnerk castle - Visitors center and exhibition Infoteque Nature 2000
Nataša Kolenc / 2022
LOCATION: Branik 113, Branik
Rihemberk is one of the oldest and mightiest castles in Slovenia – a cultural monument of national importance. After the destruction during World War II, it was abandoned for decades, despite attempts of renewal.
In 2017, the Municipality of Nova Gorica as the owner of the castle carried out basic maintenance work so that it could be opened to the public. Subsequently, the concept of an integral renovation was developed with the participation of many stakeholders. In parallel, programs for visitors were developed and step-by-step renovation started. With the arrangement of the Infoteka, the interiors of the castle were put on display for the first time – as a combination of culture and nature.
