Guided Tour of Dvor Castle

Dvor Castle dates back to the 12th Century, but is young at heart, as it recently opened its doors to the public and is offering some new content. Our tour will take you through a 19th Century shop, where looking at old objects will most certainly transport you back to the past. The mystical pharmacy, home of our witch Priletičnica, will reveal to you how they used to make medicines and what interesting pottery they used to cook various concoctions in. The old pharmacy will reveal to you the secrets behind its differently labeled bottles, show you the instruments once used by dentists and so much more. In the printing house of Master Janez, you will experience the magical world of letters and printing. And if you pay extra attention to him, he will take you to the castle wine cellar.
