This square-shaped castle with four towers was erected around 1600 on the site of an older fortification. The Colloredo Counts were the first owners, followed at the end of the 18th century by the de Catterini-Erzberg family from Gorica, and in 1872 the Baguer family inherited the property. In 1974 the castle was taken over by the Goriška Museum and in 1991 the Zoran Mušič Gallery was opened; this was later renovated. On the first floor, next to the Knights` Hall, a 19th-century cultural history collection is displayed with photographs, original objects and works of art. Also displayed there is a 17th-century fresco and the coats-of-arms of former owners. The second floor contains a collection of 134 prints by world-famous artist Zoran Mušič, dating from 1949 onwards. The castle is also used for temporary exhibitions.
