Ravne Castle stands on a pebbled terrace above the town centre and is about 500 years old. Today the castle presents a neo-Baroque appearance – due to the last refurbishment in the 19th century – however its architecture is disunited as a result of the many additions made from late Gothic times to today. The last complete renovation was carried out with total adherence to the requirements for the protection of cultural heritage, while at the same time ensuring functional spaces for the work of the Dr. Franc Sušnik Library, which has been housed in the castle since 1949. Within the castle walls there is a wealth of artistic heritage – the result of the art camps, which were held in the Art gallery's salon premises from the year 1969. The gallery holds regular displays of artworks and presents alternative programs under the patronage of the Ravne museum, which has permanent collections depicting the history of the area and the Mežica Valley. There is also a rich collection of small plastic arts pieces.
