History

Once a Carinthian estate of the Counts of Ortenburg and their successors, the Counts of Celje, a "red tower" (German: Roter Turm) at the site above the Drava Valley may have existed since the 11th century. A castle is documented in 1478, when the area was held by the Meinhardiner House of Gorizia. The present-day Renaissance building with its chapel was erected from the early 16th onwards, it was acquired by Christoph Khevenhüller about 1525 and afterwards in the possession of several local nobles over the centuries. Today the owners run the castle as a lodging establishment.

gollark: Well, two, but your other end is going to be on the ME core where it's nice and cheap to run dense cables or whatever.
gollark: You have a ME P2P tunnel on one end, and another on the other end, and bind them together, and then you can run 32 channels over that one channel the P2P tunnel takes.
gollark: All 32 channels are supplied by a single channel of P2P-backbone network on my main base cable.
gollark: Crystal growth, weird stuff I forgot to move, inscribers, chargers, AA laser, fluid transposer.
