Raka Castle

In 1501, a relative of theirs, Leonhard Herič from Kompolje in Blagovica, sold the castle to Baron Georg von Scheyer from Soteska.

The old castle was preserved from its dilapidated state by Baron Franz Karl Haller von Hallerstein, who owned it from 1784 to 1825.

After his marriage to a high-profile American woman, Lenck built a sawmill in the vicinity, planted vineyards, and had a piped water supply installed in the castle from nearby Polter Spring.

In 2007, the castle was declared a monument of special architectural or historic interest by the Municipality of Krško in order to protect the integrity of its landscape, architectural, artistic and historical value, strengthen its cultural testimony, present its cultural value in situ and in the media, and promote educational and research work.

Only the south and the west wings of the building have basements, which can be accessed by broad wooden staircases directly off the courtyard.

Broad stone stairs, set in the middle of the east wing, lead from the arcaded corridor to the first floor rooms, some of which are partitioned.

In the central part of the southern wing is a hall with a flat ceiling and a Baroque style parquet floor.

Instead, it connects the southern wing with the western and leads to the only open arcade above the northern entrance, framing only a passage.
