Kamen Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Begunje na Gorenjskem, Slovenia.
The castle complex features a Romanesque tower on its northwest side, complemented by a four-story gothic residence and renaissance buildings with an interior courtyard.
Initially constructed by the Counts of Ortenburg in the 12th century, the castle changed hands between noble families until the Counts of Lambergh took ownership in 1469.
The castle holds strong connections to knight Gašper Lambergar, a central figure in the traditional Slovenian folk song about Pegam and Lambergar.
Guided tours of the castle ruins take place every Friday, allowing visitors to explore the medieval architecture and learn about its extensive history.
During World War II, the castle served as a Gestapo prison where over 11,500 prisoners were held, with 849 individuals losing their lives at this location.
