In the city, there is a very interesting Art Museum that will impress even those who have never loved painting. The museum occupies the spectacular historical building. It houses paintings and sculptures created by modern German artists. This museum is located in the same building where the Bomann-Museum is but, in contrast, it is open 24/7. Many experienced tourists come here at night to admire beautiful artistic lights of the historical building.
The main Catholic church in Celje is St. Ludwig’s Monastery built in 1838. It was constructed in the classic style. Its main architectural features are two high white towers. The temple is distinguished by its beautiful interior. Here, you can see old frescoes, moldings and gilded elements.
The spectacular historical symbol of Celje is the French Garden found in the 18th century. It was grown by the Danish King who exiled his wife to Celje when he suspected her of adultery. The garden was set up exactly for her. Today, the monument installed among the trees reminds of the royal person’s tragic death. For the native, the French Garden has long gained a status of the outstanding cultural center. In its territory, there is a museum and a theater. In summer, a lot of interesting events take place here in the open air. Many people come to the park just to walk the pond and feed ducks.
