Prem Castle, Medieval castle in Brkini Hills, Slovenia
The castle stands on a hilltop with cylindrical towers and Renaissance arcades surrounding a central courtyard containing a small stone well.
First documented in 1220, Prem Castle served as an administrative center and changed ownership through notable families including the Udo Knights and Habsburgs.
The castle chapel from the 14th century displays console masks connected to Parler workshops, while the grand hall features decorative frescoes on dark backgrounds.
