Snežnik Castle is a 13th-century castle in the Lož Valley in southern Slovenia, in the municipality of Loška Dolina near the village of Kozarišče, about 14 km in a straight line south-east of Cerknica. It is a white four-storey building with red roofs, guarded by round and square towers and surrounded by a moat crossed by a twin-arched stone bridge. The castle is first recorded in 1269. Its name comes from the noble Schneberg family who first held it, not, as many assume, from the Slovene word for snow. In the 15th century it took on its present Renaissance appearance, and several noble houses followed one another as owners, the last being the princes of Schönburg-Waldenburg. The castle was heavily remodelled in the second half of the 19th century, and most of its interior furnishings date from that time and have survived intact, so its rooms are shown much as they were. It opened to the public as a museum in 1983. Around the castle spreads a large park of meadows linked by walking and riding paths, lined with chestnut and linden trees, with two small lakes. Entry to the museum is paid, and walking in the park is most pleasant in spring and autumn.
