Bogenšperk Castle, Renaissance castle in Municipality of Šmartno pri Litiji, Slovenia.
The three-story castle features four tracts and towers surrounding an arcaded inner courtyard, with the north tower being its oldest section.
Johann Weikhard von Valvasor purchased the castle in 1672 and established a printing press where he produced his major work about the Duchy of Carniola.
The castle museum displays collections of minerals, traditional Slovenian costumes, geodetic instruments, and a reconstruction of Valvasor's study room.
The castle opens from 10:00 to 14:00 on weekdays and 10:00 to 16:00 on weekends during winter months, with extended hours during summer season.
The castle contains Slovenia's primary geodetic collection and maintains a preserved printing workshop from the 17th century within its walls.
