On the site of today's Mokrice Castle, there was already a military fort called Romula in the Roman period, where the castle we see today was built over several centuries. The owners of the castles changed frequently throughout history. The last counts who lived in it were the von Gagerns. Due to weakened finances, they were forced to sell their property before World War II. The castle was occupied by the Germans during the war, and after the war it was nationalized. In 1952, catering began in it and today the entire castle has been converted into a four-star hotel. Mokrice Castle is adorned with one of the rarely preserved drawbridges.
The building is classified as an immovable monument of local importance and was declared an immovable monument on January 31, 2006. A cultural local monument is a building that has exceptional cultural value at the local level. Such buildings are initially evaluated as cultural heritage and then entered into the Register of Immovable Cultural Heritage. The declaration is carried out by means of declaration acts adopted by the competent authority. These acts are published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia or the local community gazette.
