Hmeljnik Castle, Medieval castle in Gorenje Kamenje, Slovenia.
The castle features a Romanesque square keep with Gothic towers and two concentric defensive walls positioned on a hill above the A2 motorway.
First documented in 1217, the castle belonged to the Lords of Hopfenbach until their extinction in the 14th century, then passed through several noble families.
The structure incorporates architectural elements from multiple periods, including Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance styles, reflecting Slovenia's architectural evolution through centuries.
The castle remains stand in ruins following World War II damage, and visitors should exercise caution due to unstable structures and limited access.
The castle maintained Renaissance arcaded hallways within its courtyard and additional structures in the lower courtyard designed for enhanced defensive capabilities.
