Grad Castle, Medieval castle in Grad, Slovenia

The pentagonal castle structure spans multiple levels with arcade corridors and extends across the largest castle complex in Slovenia, featuring thick stone walls.

The castle's origins date to 1208 when King Andrew II granted the fief Lyndwa to Nicholas of Vas, with first written records from 1271.

The castle maintains craft workshops and thematic halls where visitors can learn about regional traditions and historical practices through exhibitions and displays.

Four bedrooms with private bathrooms offer overnight stays in the castle, while a souvenir shop provides local crafts and memorabilia for purchase.

The castle's name translates to 'Castle Castle' in English, as both the fortress and the surrounding village share the name Grad.
