Zaprice Castle

The castle was first indirectly mentioned in 1306 and was originally built in the 14th century by the Dienger von Apecz family.

[1][2] The castle has repeatedly changed owners; the last private proprietors were the Rechbachs until 1945, when it was nationalised and transformed into multi-residential building.

The castle is surrounded by a terraced park and a wall, a dairy farm at the entrance of the complex, two pavilions, a late Gothic sign, and an open-air museum of granaries from the Tuhinj Valley.

There is also an archaeological site on the east side of the castle, where the foundation of an apsidal wall, a bronze fibula, and a few fragments of an ancient glass were found.

An object of special interest is a Baroque portative organ built by Marko Göbl and Johann Georg Eisl, both from Ljubljana, in 1743.
