OPLOTNICA CASTLE (OPLOTNICA GRAD)

The castle was built in the early 17th century by the Carthusian monks of the monastery of Žiče. In 1828 it became the property of the Windischgrätz family. The chapel has a ceiling decorated with angel heads, leaves and stucco medallions. The Church of the Three Wise Men dates from the 16th century. It was built near Velika vrh (1,347 m) and is mentioned by Jože Tomažič in his tales and legends. A nice visit that should delight lovers of history and architecture.
