Brdo Castle near Kranj

[7] The present mansion was built by Carniolan nobleman Georg (Jurij) Egkh, general administrator of Habsburg private estates in the Duchy of Carniola, upon the permission by Maximillian I issued in 1510.

Prince Paul transformed Brdo from an eclectic and biedermeier provincial mansion into a refined summer royal residence.

After Yugoslavia became a communist state in 1945, the mansion was confiscated from the Karađorđević dynasty and in 1947 after being nationalised became a summer retreat of the Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito.

During one such visit in the spring of 1980, Tito suffered a seizure at Brdo and was transferred to the Ljubljana University Medical Centre, where he later died.

After Tito's death in 1980, the estate was transferred to the Socialist Republic of Slovenia and it was later inherited by the Government of the independent Slovenian state.
