Ravne Castle

Ravne na Koroškem, Slovenia, Slovenia

---

Ravne Castle (Grad Ravne or Streiteben) is a 16th-century fortress built by the Hebenstreit family on a gravel terrace above the town of Ravne na Koroškem in Carinthia, northern Slovenia, near the Meža River. Passing to families like Sichtenstätt in the 17th century—when a nearby foundry emerged—and later Gašnik and Counts of Thurn, who gave it a neo-Baroque form in 1863 with a surrounding park, it blends Gothic roots and multiple stylistic layers. Since 1949 housing the Dr. Franc Sušnik Central Carinthian Library and art salon with regional history exhibits, the renovated landmark offers cultural access amid its industrial town's steel sculpture heritage.
