9th Castle Days

Friderik the First – A Fugitive Rat and His Tricks - SOLD OUT

17. May from 17:00, Casemate, Ljubljana Castle

Guided tour through the exhibition Mighty Guardians of the Past – for children from five years of age

At the Ljubljana Castle, there lives a castle rat who answers to the name Friderik the First. He is most commonly found in the castle penitentiary, where the prisoners shared many a story with him in the past. He also knows a lot of the castle’s secrets, as during his stay at the castle he has met Erasmus of Lueg and Emperor Frederick III of Habsburg himself. Habsburg. The Emperor’s servants told him many stories of heroism and love. However, Friderik himself is more in love with the fragrant masterpieces of cuisine created by the castle cook … but that is another story altogether.

Anyone who is sufficiently curious can still find Friderik behind the castle walls today. Sometimes he only leaves his own footprints behind him ... Because he likes to share his knowledge, we can sometimes find clues he has left to lead us to explore the hidden corners of the castle and its past. Could it be that these explorations are not an adventure, but a trick? If you are just a little curious, you will see the evidence with your own eyes. Do you dare?


Gathering Point: The bridge in front of the main entrance.

The number of places is limited. Free tickets will be available at Ljubljana Castle sales points and the lower funicular station on Krek Square (Krekov trg) from 13 May 2019 until all of the places are taken. Each individual can take up to four free tickets.
