Tivoli Castle (), originally called Podturn Manor (,Costa, Ethbin Heinrich. 1848. Reiseerinnerungen aus Krain. Ljubljana: Eger, p. 39. ), is a mansion in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.
An alpine-style building called the Švicarija ( 'the Switzerland House', formerly the Tivoli Hotel)Habič, Marko. 1997. Prestolnica Ljubljana nekoč in danes. A Pictorial Chronicle of a Capital City. Ljubljana: DZS, pp. 164–165. stands behind the mansion. The Jesenko Trail leads past it.
The current structure was built in the 17th century atop the ruins of a previous Renaissance-period castle, the mansion was initially owned by the , but came into the possession of the Diocese of Ljubljana following the 1773 suppression of the Jesuit order. Used as the bishop's summer residence, it was surrounded with orchards.
In the mid-19th century, it was bought by the Austrian Empire Francis Joseph I, who in 1852 presented it as a gift to the veteran Habsburg marshal Joseph Radetzky. Radetzky renovated the mansion in the Neoclassical style, giving it its present appearance, and spent much of his retirement in it with his wife Francisca von Strassoldo Grafenberg, a local noblewoman.
The field marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz (1766–1858) contributed a lot to the arrangement of Tivoli Park. There was a full-size cast iron statue of Radetzky on display in Ljubljana on the steps in front of Tivoli Castle from 1882 till 1918. In 1851, it won a prize at the Great Exhibition in London. Today, it is preserved by the City Museum of Ljubljana. The statue's pedestal, however, remains at its original place.
In 1863, the mansion was bought by the Municipality of Ljubljana, who used it as (among other things) a poorhouse, later subdividing it into condominiums. In 1967, it was again renovated and became the venue for the International Centre of Graphic Arts. Virtualtourist.com
