Dear Sir/Madam,

The remarkable history of the old castle and the Renaissance manor in Soteska, along with the legends of their owners, naturally invite us to bring Soteska in the Municipality of Dolenjske Toplice to life through the magical medieval event RENAISSANCE SOTESKA, held on the lawn by the Devil’s Tower near the Soteska Castle.

We cordially invite you to visit the
2nd Renaissance Soteska,
which will take place on Sunday, June 8, 2025, starting at 10 a.m.

The second Sunday in June promises to be a wonderful day, dedicated to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Visitors can enjoy a medieval market, demonstrations of knightly skills in archery and sword fighting, medieval and Renaissance dances, music, comedians, and a true journey back in time.

The event will showcase life across various historical periods, including:

• Prince Johann Weikhard von Auersperg, founder of the princely lineage,
• A castle exploration trail featuring archery, various skill games, and workshops for all age groups,
• An armory,
• Embroiderers,
• Court jesters, entertainers, and a beggar,
• A medieval-Renaissance knight’s camp,
• A medieval market,
• An outdoor tavern, wine cellar, and inn.

Children can participate in a prize-winning treasure hunt!

The outdoor tavern will also offer a delightful selection of refreshments!

We warmly invite you to honor the rich history of Soteska with your visit and actively participate in the exciting program.

We eagerly await your visit and are looking forward to seeing you there!
