Šrajbarski Turn Castle, Renaissance castle in Leskovec pri Krškem, Slovenia.

Šrajbarski Turn Castle is a centrally planned defensive castle with four residential wings around a rectangular arcaded courtyard, built in the second quarter of the 16th century and largely complete by its middle. Its corners are reinforced by round towers of unequal size with steep conical roofs. Above the main entrance is a relief of the Auersperg-Falkenhayn coat of arms, while the courtyard wall bears the arms of the Khysl family.

Two manors on the site were first recorded in 1436, held by Baron Johann Dürrer alongside the Counts of Celje and later sold to them. Peasant rebels took and looted the castle in 1515. After the Counts of Celje, owners included Baron Johann Baptist von Valvasor in 1581, the Moscon family, and the Auersperg family from 1653 to 1903.

The castle's name Turn comes from the Middle High German word turn, meaning tower, and the epithet Šrajbarski, of unknown origin, may refer to an early owner. Above the main entrance is a relief of the coat of arms of the Auersperg-Falkenhayn family, while the courtyard wall displays the arms of the noble Khysl family. A partially preserved sundial with a chronogram and the year 1771 can be seen above the ground-floor arcades on the north side.

The castle stands north of Leskovec pri Krškem, in the City Municipality of Krško in southeastern Slovenia. It is a national monument, but its interior is empty and the 17th-century park is overgrown, with only remnants of the garden wall, three park portals, and a hornbeam avenue. Visit for the exterior and the arcaded courtyard.

The castle park, laid out in the 17th century, is now overgrown; only traces of the garden wall with three park portals and a hornbeam avenue remain. The monument to botanist Alfonz Paulin (1853–1942), son of the castle warder, stands in this abandoned park.
