The anwser is: Old Castle... for one thing!
Celje is boasting with rich cultural heritage. Proof for this is also a castle on the hill overlooking the whole city.
The city was razed by Slavic tribes during the Migration period of the 5th and 6th century, but was rebuilt in the Early Middle Ages. The first mention of Celje in the Middle Ages was under the name of Cylie in Admont's Chronicle, which was written between 1122 and 1137.
The town was the seat of the Counts of Celje from 1341 to 1456 It acquired market-town status in the first half of the 14th century and town privileges from Count Frederick II on April 11, 1451.
