Many centuries have been the headquarters of the Great Gorenjska Estate, and now it is one of Slovenia’s largest cultural and tourist attractions. The castle buildings are arranged around two courtyards. At the lower courtyard there were commercial buildings and residential areas. The courtyard tied the staircase in the middle of the baroque tract. The most interesting is the chapel in the upper courtyard, which was built in 16. Century.. From the oldest conception, a Romanesque wall with an entrance tower has been preserved and the other buildings are from the Renaissance period.

  1. That is a magnificent castle. I have only been to one, The Cloisters in New York City, which is a mediaeval castle run by the Metropolitan Museum. Its unicorn tapestries are a highlight, but I prefer the gardens with their view of the Hudson River. It is quite beautiful. I have only seen European castles in books and film..
