Lipnica Castle, Castle ruins in Zgornja Lipnica, Slovenia.
The remains of Lipnica Castle stand on elevated ground above Lipnica Creek, featuring stone walls and two defense towers within a defensive trench system.
The castle, first documented in 1263 as Castrum Waldemberch, served as the administrative center for the Ortenburg noble family's Upper Carniolan territories.
The castle inspired literary works, including a 1939 historical novel by Josip Lavtizar and the theatrical piece Pusti Grad by Polona Skrinjar.
Visitors reach the castle ruins via a 5-kilometer circular trail starting from Radovljica, with signposts and information boards guiding the way.
Local tales mention Margaret Teck, who allegedly poisoned Count Friderik III with an apple and transformed into a snake wearing a golden crown.
