Weixelstein Castle (Slovene: Dvor or Novi dvor) stands east of Radeče at Pot na Brod no.
23.
It is a four-winged two-story structure with an arcade courtyard.
The building mainly dates from the 16th century, and the courtyard from the 17th century.
Some wooden ceilings are preserved in the interior.
The castle park originally had a geometric pattern, but was redesigned in a landscaped style in the 18th century.
The castle's 16th-century owner Johann von Weixelstein sold it to Christoph von Raumschussl (or Rambschüssel) in 1595, after which it was owned by the Zetschker family, the Augustinians of Ljubljana, Franz Johann von Amigoni, Anton Gollmayer, the Plusk family, and Ludwig Guttmannsthal-Benvenuti.
It was purchased by the Ljubljana-based Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul in 1926.
The nuns were evicted by German forces during the Second World War.
After the war, the property was nationalized and converted into a reform school.
