First mentioned in 1444, [[Mokrice Castle]] stands on slightly elevated ground on the hillsides of Gorjanci where they descend into the valley of the Sava close to the border with Croatia near the town of Jesenice. In the 16th century the castle was completely rebuilt and extended with four different peripheral wings surrounding an irregularly-shaped inner arcaded courtyard. The castle is outwardly protected with four protruding Renaissance towers. On the grassy edge alongside the castle stands the chapel with a decorated stucco interior. | First mentioned in 1444, [[Mokrice Castle]] stands on slightly elevated ground on the hillsides of Gorjanci where they descend into the valley of the Sava close to the border with Croatia near the town of Jesenice.
