Castles of Slovenia - gradovi.net

The website Gradovi.net provides an overview of Slovenia's castles, mansions, and palaces as well as monasteries and churches.

The website was launched in 2004 and is frequently updated with useful information for researchers. For example, a special section is dedicated to stonecutter's marks and documents 75 of them. The web list of stonecutter's marks in Slovenia and abroad can be accessed here. The site also contains a dictionary of castelological terms.
