Castle Turjak is 500 years old.

First there was a very small fesung, but it was too small, so they built a bigger one.

In the 13th century it was much smaller. Now the castle is 60% renewed.

If somebody attacked the castle, they had a fountain and a pantry. Thay also had a kind of a basement where they had a food.

There’s also a chapel (Dalmatin’s chapel). It’s the oldest castle chapel. It’s got the name “Dalmatin’s”, because Jurij Dalmatin was transleting the Bible there. There’s also an armory next to the chapel.

In the castle there was and there is still a prison, that was once 20 meters deep, but now it’s just 5 meters.
