Kunšperk is a settlement on the right bank of the river Sotla in the Bistrica ob Sotli Municipality in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Styria. It is now included in the Savinjska statistical region.[2]
The ruins of Kunšperk Castle can still be seen on a steep hill to the south of the settlement. It was a Romanesque castle surrounded by defence walls built in the 12th century with later additions (a Gothic chapel and Renaissance fortifications). It was abandoned in the 17th century.[3]
