Loka Castle, Medieval castle in Škofja Loka, Slovenia.

Loka Castle stands on a grassy hilltop plateau, featuring stone walls, multiple towers, and an enclosed courtyard within the structure.

Built in 1202 by the Freisings, the castle underwent reconstruction after an earthquake in 1511 under the direction of Bishop Filip.

The castle houses the Loka Museum, containing collections of archaeology, ethnology, art, and natural sciences across two floors and multiple galleries.

Located at Grajska pot 13 in Škofja Loka, the castle museum offers guided tours, workshops, and educational programs throughout the year.

The castle grounds include a preserved 16th-century farmhouse called Škopar's House, displaying traditional architectural elements of the region.
