Lihtenberk Castle, Castle ruins in Šmartno pri Litiji, Slovenia
The remnants of Lihtenberk Castle sit on elevated terrain near Bogenšperk Castle, with portions of a two-story palace and fortification walls still visible.
First documented in 1223, Lihtenberk Castle belonged to Albert de Lihtenberc, a ministerial of the Patriarchate of Aquileia, who received it from the Counts of Andechs.
The castle represents medieval Slovenian defensive architecture and served as an administrative center for the surrounding territory under various noble families.
The ruins require careful navigation through uneven terrain, and visitors should contact local authorities in Šmartno pri Litiji for access information and guided tours.
The earthquake of 1511 sealed the fate of this medieval structure, leading to the transfer of administrative functions to nearby Bogenšperk Castle.
