How is Pazin connected to Jules Verne?

Its castle inspired a setting in Jules Verne's novel Mathias Sandorf.

The medieval Castle of Pazin, situated above a 130 m cliff where the Pazinčica River flows into the Pazin Pit, inspired the French writer Jules Verne as the setting for part of his novel Mathias Sandorf, published in 1885. Today there is a Jules Verne club in Pazin and every year at the end of June the Days of Jules Verne are organized.
