For Sale: Two buildings with Large Plot in Senožeče – A Fantastic Investment Opportunity! A Touch of History – Remnants of the Former Snosetsch Castle
This property is part of the former castle complex of Snosetsch, first mentioned in 1275. The castle once stood on a hill above Senožeče and served as a key fortification along the trade route between the coastal region and Carniola. Damaged during Turkish invasions and ultimately destroyed in the 1511 earthquake, it left behind rare architectural traces.
Part of the current house retains elements of the former castle structure, giving the property cultural and historical value. In the 17th century, a manor was built at the foot of the castle hill, serving as the district court seat. Though now in ruins, it still reflects the area's rich past.
The complex for sale is known as Villa Marija. The current owner began renovations in 1972–1973, restoring and expanding a structure that was once part of the castle’s church. The ground floor was converted into a hospitality area with accompanying facilities. The first floor includes accommodation: four rooms with a study, a separate bathroom, and a kitchen with dining area. The attic features residential living space with a large terrace offering stunning views of Senožeče and the surrounding landscape.
Renovation highlights:
Window restoration: 1973
Facade restoration: 1973
Roof restoration: 2006
In addition to the main residential and hospitality building (which requires further renovation), the complex includes another structure built on the ruins of the castle, with an actual size of approx. 236 m². Constructed with reinforced concrete up to the third building phase, the owner has already developed a conceptual design for its restoration and completion. The building could complement the hospitality venue next door. The first floor could house two apartments, and the second floor could include two suites and rooms with bathrooms.
Total building area: over 500 m² Location: Senožeče – Excellent access to the highway, nature, and major cities (Sežana, Postojna, Ljubljana). The house is located directly next to the Museum of Freight and Transport, inaugurated in July 2025. From the house, there are breathtaking views of Nanos and Vremščica.
The property is ideal for a large family, investors, or as a tourism project (e.g., apartments, glamping, B&B). Purchase as a whole is possible.
