Each June the grounds of Soteska Castle, with its Devil's Tower and old manor, host Renesančna Soteska, a medieval and Renaissance fair. The castle dates to 1608 and was the seat of the Auersperg family, and the fair brings that noble history alive among its ruins.
Media proof note

The story behind it
Soteska Castle (now partly ruins) dates to 1608 and was the seat of the Auersperg noble family. The Devil’s Tower is a Baroque garden pavilion of the former castle. The festival leverages this historical site, bringing its legends and architectural heritage to life each year. It is a community-driven tradition that highlights the region’s Renaissance and medieval roots through popular education and entertainment.
