Turjak Castle

Turjak Castle is located in the village of the same name approximately 20 kilometers from Ljubljana. It was first mentioned in written records in 1220 but was probably built even earlier, in the 10th or 11th century. It acquired its present-time appearance after an earthquake in 1511. It features the largest round bastion in Slovenia and a distinctive Renaissance defensive corridor in the shape of a triangle. The castle underwent a major renovation, initiated by the Ministry of Culture, between 2024 and 2026.
