Čušperk (pronounced [ˈtʃuːʃpɛɾk]; German: Zobelsberg[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Grosuplje in central Slovenia.
[3] Čušperk was first attested in written sources in 1220 as Czobelsperch (and as castrum Zobelsperc in 1248 and Zusperch in 1400, among other variations).
The name originally referred to the castle located at the site and, based on medieval sources, is derived from Middle High German Zobelsberc, a compound of zobel 'sable' + berc 'mountain'.
Emperor Frederick III pledged the castle to the Auerspergs in exchange for Kostanjevica na Krki.
Baroness Rechbach purchased the castle in 1915, and during the interwar period it was owned by the merchant and inn owner Ivan Šteh from Videm.
