Jablje Castle, Renaissance castle in Loka pri Mengšu, Slovenia

The white stone castle stands above a stream at the western edge of Mengeš Fields, surrounded by dense woods and agricultural lands.

The castle's first records date to 1268, with the House of Lamberg constructing the current Renaissance structure around 1530 above Loka pri Mengšu.

The interior contains frescoes by baroque artist Franc Jelovšek, including an unusual painting depicting a Chinese figure playing a tambourine while riding a camel.

Visitors can tour the castle every second Saturday at 11:00, with additional arrangements possible for group visits through the Center for European Perspective.

The castle underwent extensive renovation from 1999 to 2006 and served as a diplomatic venue during Slovenia's European Union presidency in 2008.
