Ojstrica Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Loke, Slovenia.

The remains of Ojstrica Castle stand on a hill called Stari Grad, southwest of the settlement core in the Municipality of Tabor.

The castle was constructed in the 13th century by the Counts of Celje and later abandoned following a destructive peasant revolt in 1535.

The site holds archaeological evidence of medieval defensive architecture and represents an essential part of the region's feudal history.

The castle ruins can be reached through marked paths from the nearby settlement of Loke, with coordinates at 46.207685 N and 14.983378 E.

Local legends associate the castle with Veronika of Desenice, who was reportedly imprisoned within its walls before her death.
