Rače is a settlement in and the administrative centre of the Rače-Fram municipality in northeastern Slovenia. It lies under the eastern Pohorje hills on the edge of the flatlands on the right bank of the river Drava to the south of Maribor. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Styria. The municipality is now included in the Drava statistical region.[2]
Rače Castle is a 16th cenury castle situated to the west of the settlement. It was built between 1528 and 1533 and was originally surrounded with a moat. In the 17th century two round towers and a chapel dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk were added to the building. A square tower on the opposite side of the building only dates to 1915.[3]
