When the old castle began to fall into ruins around 1800 the new owners arranged a new administration building at the foothill of
the old castle. Maybe during the works they reconstructed old meierhof of Stopnik - which is mentioned already in 1442 among castle's
appurtenances (Mayerhof), which lords of Štunbenberg sold to Counts of Celje. The estate Simon Alexander gained in 1794 was in 1807
inherited by Johan Alexander and in 1823 Jožef Omersi. Later owners were in 1893 Franc Dvoršak, in 1843 Viljem Uhl, in 1847 Anton
Vincenc Perko and after 1854 eight owners followed which rapidly changed and in 1905 M.Ograjenšek. At least from around 1910 the
building was in peasants hands. Mister Podbregar told me that not long ago, probably in February or March 2006, pretty desolated and
decaying building was demolished and the remains were covered.
