Description
Summary:The Vurberk/Wurmberg line of the noble Stubenberg family, which owned the Vurberk Castle between 1441 and 1616, is one of the overlooked chapters of the history of nobility in the Duchy of Styria, as well as the history of presentday Slovenian territory in a broader context. Whereas the history of the aforementioned family may (at least in part) be reconstructed with the use of preserved written sources, its home castle, now lying in ruins, is but a pale shadow of its former scale and grandeur. Nevertheless, there are still many other material traces of the Stubenbergs of Vurberk that attest to their presence in the wider geographical area of their central seigniory - all to the present day.
