Planina was mentioned for the first time as a wine growing settlement already in the year 1190, however, in 1345 it was mentioned as a market town (the copy of the pillory has been preserved until today). The inscription on the plague memorial testifies that  in 1646, a plague demanded the lives of a  thousand victims. However, besides that, also frequent peasant risings demanded many victims.

The castle itself is in ruins today, but it offer a beautiful view over the settlement beneath.
