Na gricu Stari grad (241m) nad Vipavo stojijo mogocne razvaline gradu Vipava (Alt Wippach), ki so ga v 12. stoletju pozidali oglejski patriarhi.
Lokacija gradu je bila poseljena že v prazgodovini, domneva se tudi, da je bila na gricu poznorimska utrdba. Ponovno je bil gric poseljen okrog leta 1100. Skozi stoletja je grad veckrat menjal lastnike, med bolj znane spadajo celjski grofje in Habsburžani. L. 1508 so grad zasedli Benecani in ga delno razdejali. Grad je zacel propadati v 17. stoletju, ko so se tedanji lastniki, grofje Lanthieri, preselili v nov grad, ki so ga zgradili ob vznožju grica v Vipavi. Na Valvasorjevi upodobitvi gradu iz leta 1678 je ta že razvalina. V 18. in 19. stoletju so ostanke gradu uporabljali kot kamnolom za kamenje, s katerim so gradili hiše v Vipavi.
Leta 1987 so bili ostanki gradu razglašeni za kulturni in zgodovinski spomenik ter naravno znamenitost.
