Medija Castle, Castle ruins in Podlipovica, Slovenia.

Located at 400 meters above sea level, Medija Castle features remnants of medieval architecture with a restored chapel in central-eastern Slovenia.

The castle's origins trace back to the late 13th century, until its destruction by Yugoslav Partisans during World War II left most structures in ruins.

The castle served as the childhood residence of Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, a notable Slovenian polymath who contributed to literature and science.

The restored chapel within the castle complex functions as a venue for contemporary events, including concerts, theatrical performances, and wedding ceremonies.

The castle remains contain architectural elements from multiple centuries, providing insights into the construction methods and design evolution of Slovenian fortifications.
