Kamnik Upper Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Kamnik, Slovenia
The remnants of Kamnik Upper Castle stand at 585 meters above sea level on Krniška gora Hill, overlooking the town of Kamnik in central Slovenia.
Built in the 12th century by the Andeski Counts, the castle controlled important trade routes until an earthquake in 1511 caused substantial structural damage.
The remaining southern wall contains three entrance points and firing lines, while a rectangular defensive tower marks the main platform of this medieval fortification.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through a marked path from Kamnik center, passing the Little Wooden Mills Grove during the 30-minute walk.
The former gothic castle grounds now feature Grajska terasa Café, where guests can experience mountain views while learning about local medieval architecture.
