VUZENICA was mentioned for the first time in 1238 and later in 1288 as a

square. Above Zgornji trg stands new castle or »Štok« as inhabitants of Vuzenica

name it. Above it there has been reconstructed renaissance portal tower with

porthole and traces of a drawbridge preserved of old castle. The railway is also

running through the town, which has been connecting Maribor to Klagenfurt

since 1863. Thus typical stone viaducts can be seen in many places along the

Drava valley.

ThechurchoftheassumptionofvirginMary on Kamen

stands by the local road Vuzenica-Vuhred. The Priest’s house and the church

of Saint Nicolay are placed in the old settlement. Medieval tombstones and a

board with priests’ names since 1045 are in the church. There have

been permanent exhibitions dedicated to former priest Anton Martin

Slomšek in the priest’s house.
