Laze (pronounced as /sl/) is a settlement in the Municipality of Velenje in northern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. The entire municipality is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.[2]
The ruins of Švarcenštajn Castle (Slovenian: Grad Švarcenštajn, German: Schwarzenstein) stand south of the settlement. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1360 as Swarczenstain. It was a four-sided 14th-century building around an inner courtyard, of which only one side with a turret over the entrance remains today.[3]
