Cultural heritage

Viltus Palace

On a gentle hill at the foot of Tičnica (460 meters) along the Maribor-Dravograd road in Spodnji Slemen, there is a magnificent building of the Viltuš caste from the beginning of the 17th century, which is one of our most beautiful and largest castles. Today, the mansion is abandoned and often a target of hooliganism. The castle also has a park whose official name is Spodnji Slemen - the Park of Viltuš Castle. The park is designed in landscape style, richly planted with exotic tree species. Part of the garden is also a lake. Ghosts: The Viltus Castle is supposed to become a target of ghosts after the WWII when its owners were chased away.
