Hrastovec v Slovenskih Goricah (pronounced [ˈxɾaːstɔʋəts ʍ slɔˈʋeːnskiɣ ɡɔˈɾiːtsax], German: Gutenhaag^[2]) is a settlement in the Slovene Hills (Slovene: Slovenske gorice) in the Municipality of Lenart in northeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included in the Drava Statistical Region.^[3]

Hrastovec Castle

The dominant landmark in the settlement is Hrastovec Castle. It is a castle dating to the early 13th century with various later stages. It has a number of well-preserved Baroque features, including a painted chapel. It is one of the largest surviving castles in Slovenia. It houses a psychiatric hospital.^[4]

After World War II, the castle was the site of an internment camp run by the Yugoslav secret police for people accused of collaborating with the Germans.^[5]^[6]
