Borl Castle, Medieval castle in Cirkulane, Slovenia.
Situated on a limestone rock above the Drava River, Borl Castle stands as a fortified structure with medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural elements.
Built in the 12th century as a Hungarian border outpost, the castle changed ownership among noble families until its transformation into a Gestapo prison during World War II.
The castle contains preserved wall paintings, sculptures, and interior furnishings that demonstrate the artistic preferences of Slovenian nobility through different periods.
The castle maintains a memorial room dedicated to World War II prisoners, with a commemorative plaque installed in 1956 to honor the victims.
Located at the intersection of the Drava River and Bela stream, the castle served as the center of a lordship controlled by the lords of Ptuj and Székely family.
