Geocache Description:

Kebeljski grad je bil prvic omenjen leta 1251, ko je bil njegov lastnik Tymo de Gybel. To je bil najvisje lezeci grad na Pohorju, od katerega je ostal le stolp premera 9 m z 2,5 m debelim zidom. Stolp je imel cokato obliko, znacilno za romanski slog. Danes ta ostanek imenujejo Zajcev grad po lastniku zemlje, na kateri stojijo ti ostanki. Osrednji del gradu je bil 200 m bolj zahodno, kjer je cisto nakoncu nad strmino stala grajska kapelica.		Earliest reference to Kebelj castle dates to 1251. At that time the owner was Tymo de Gybel. It was on the highest altitude amongst all the castles of Pohorje, and all that is left from it today is the tower, measuring 9 m in diameter and its walls 2,5m thick. It was build in Romanesque style. Today the remains are called Zajcev castle, after the owner of the land. Main part of the castle was located 200m to the west, where there was also a chapel, located on the edge of the steep slope.


Grad je bil krski fevd. Skupaj s kebeljskim uradom, ki je bil najbrz v spodnjem gradu, ga je krski skof Janez leta 1387 izrocil v zajem celjskima grofoma Hermanu in Viljemu. Leta 1441 ga je kot dediscino po umrlem bratu Frideriku Ptujskem dobila Neza Stunberska, leta 1449 pa je Leutold Stunberski prodal oba gradova Konradu Pesnicarju. Leta 1485 je bil grad v posesti Sigmunda in Henrika Prueschenska, ki sta ga pridruzila statenberski gosposcini. V urbarju te gosposcine iz leta 1490 se omenja dezelno sodisce pri opustelem gradu. Grad je torej ze bil tedaj opustel oziroma razdejan.		Kebelj castle was a part of Krško fief. It was handed over by the bishop of Krško to the counts Herman and Viljem of Celje, along with the Kebelj office, that was most probably in the bottom tower (Zbegov castle). In 1441 it fell into the possession of Neža of Stunberg as an inheritance of her brother Friederik of Ptuj. Both castles were sold in 1449 to Konradu Pesnicar by the Leutold of Stunberg. The owners in 1485, Sigmund and Henrik Prueschenski, added this two castles to the Štetenberg property. There are some records indicating, that the local cort was placed in this abandoned castle in 1490, thus this are ruins for quite some time.
