Weissenfels Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Fusine in Valromana, Italy
The stone ruins of Weissenfels Castle stand at 1120 meters elevation, overlooking the valleys and mountains near the borders of Slovenia and Austria.
Frederik II of Celje commissioned the construction of this fortified castle after 1431 to protect important trade routes between Friuli, Carinthia, and Upper Sava Valley.
The castle served as a guardian for the iron-ore mines and smelting furnaces of the upper Sava Valley, reflecting the industrial heritage of the region.
The castle ruins require a mountain hike to reach, and visitors should prepare appropriate footwear and equipment for the steep terrain and variable weather conditions.
Located 5.7 kilometers from the meeting point of three countries, the castle ruins provide views across Italy, Slovenia, and Austria from its strategic mountain position.
