Perched on a rocky outcrop of Golec Hill above the village of Branik, the mighty Rihemberk Castle has long reigned as one of the oldest castles in Slovenia. Its ancient and dynamic walls catch the eye of travellers who pause before this imposing fortress. The central tower, majestically reaching into the sky, is crowned by battlements encircling its top like a regal crown.

Today, Rihemberk Castle is a cultural monument of national significance and part of the Natura 2000 – Branica Valley area. Within its walls, it carefully guards centuries of stories that shaped this place and its people.
