Gracar Turn, Renaissance castle in Hrastje, Slovenia
The castle structure incorporates a multi-story residential palacium within a rectangular complex supported by two square towers at latitude 45.81609 and longitude 15.296973.
The Grätzer family from Gradac constructed the initial manor on this site during the 14th century, leading to the current name of the fortification.
Writer Janez Trdina produced several works at this location, including Tales and Stories of the Gorjanci Hills while staying as a guest of Anton Rudež.
Gracar Turn lies on the northern edge of Hrastje in the Municipality of Šentjernej, near the Carthusian monastery of Pleterje in southeastern Slovenia.
During World War II, partisan fighters damaged sections of the castle, necessitating subsequent renovations to restore the historical structure.
