Otočec Castle, Water castle in Novo Mesto, Slovenia.
The Renaissance castle stands on an artificial island in the Krka River, connected to both riverbanks by wooden bridges spanning clear waters.
Built around 1252, the castle belonged to the de Werde nobles known as the Knights of Otočec before changing hands through several aristocratic families.
The castle exhibits Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, with a restored tower housing a wine cellar featuring regional Slovenian wine selections.
The castle operates as a Relais & Châteaux hotel with luxurious rooms, a restaurant serving regional cuisine, and meeting facilities for business events.
A southern channel was excavated around the original riverside castle to create a moat, forming the largest island in the Krka River.
