Škofja Loka and Škofja Loka Castle are truly places where you can relive and feel the beauty and richness of medieval life.
Škofja Loka Castle has a rich and interesting history, and it still offers extremely rich content today. Škofja Loka Castle is said to have been built at the beginning of the thirteenth century, and to have been built by the Freising bishops. The great earthquake of 1511 greatly affected Škofja Loka Castle, and Bishop Filip then had it completely restored. In 1803, the castle was taken over by the state and housed a tax office, a land register, and a court. Škofja Loka Castle later temporarily became private property and was last owned by the Ursulines. During the First World War, there was a hospital in it, and after the end of the Second World War, there were prisons and a penitentiary in Škofja Loka Castle. In the 1960s, the castle passed into the hands of the municipality of Škofja Loka, which set up a museum there.

Very interesting. I really like it. Castles are great. There are many in Spain as well.
Thank you. Yes, I have heard that you have beautiful castles in Spain. In our country they are more “simple”.
This castle is really beautiful .
Thank you, Branka. You’re right so I visit this castle several times.
i love castles (as you know). but i really enjoyed the history of the castle – from house to prison and tax office!
i wonder which ghost would be worse to encounter. A former prisoner, or the ghost of a former tax collector!
Thank you. Yes, I know you adore cities. There was really a lot going on in this castle. I would rather not meet any ghost. 😊
personally i think the ghost of a tax collector scares me more!
Great story. Although I have never visited it, it seems I have visited this one castle with your history of it… This particular castle seems very compact just like the typical medieval times….
Thank you so much. This castle is really beautiful and worth a visit.
Such an interesting castle! I love hiatoric places.
Thank you, Ellie. I always like to visit some historical place.
Somethings just go down in history and stay there for centuries.
We can find a lot of history in castles.
It all sounds very interesting and I would like to see inside the castle,
If I remember correctly, you also adore castles.
Would love to visit a castle. Thanks for the story on this one.
