Smlednik Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Medvode, Slovenia.
The castle ruins stand on an elevation east of Lake Zbilje, featuring defensive towers and remnants of living quarters from different architectural periods.
Built during the Romanesque period, the castle underwent Gothic renovations and modifications after the 1511 earthquake, when Renaissance elements were incorporated.
The castle structure represents the development of medieval fortification architecture in central Slovenia through its various construction phases and adaptations.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins through hiking trails, with a snack bar located at the base offering meals throughout the week.
From its position, the castle provides views of the Julian Alps, Triglav, the Karawanks mountain range, and the Polhov Gradec Dolomites.
