Culture

The Radlje ob Dravi Museum in Dvorec Radlje is closed to visitors until further notice due to renovation work. Dvorec Radlje is a modern interactive museum in the former county estate, also known as the Lower Castle of Mahrenberg. The building is surrounded by an English-style landscape park laid out in the 19th century.

The ruins of Mahrenberg Castle lie above the town on Kamen Hill. They offer views and convey the history of the former castle. The Kalvarija in Radlje is an artistic monument created in 1724, featuring life-size Baroque stone sculptures. It consists of seven statues placed along the path to the hilltop, depicting the Stations of the Cross.

It has a nave, a chancel ending in three sides of an octagon, a freestanding bell tower, as well as a Baroque chapel and a sacristy.
