Zaprice Castle

Castles in Upper CarniolaKamnik

Zaprice Castle (Slovene: grad Zaprice, German: Schloss Steinbüchel) is a castle in Zaprice, now part of the town of Kamnik, Slovenia. The castle was first indirectly mentioned in 1306 and was originally built in the 14th century by the Dienger von Apecz family. It was rebuilt in the early 16th century by Jurij Lamberg, who gave it corner oriel windows and surrounded it with a wall with two towers, and gave it a German name: Steinbüchel. The castle is subsequently remembered as a meeting place for Kamnik's Lutherans. During the 17th and 18th century the castle was rebuilt in the Baroque style and enlarged into a more comfortable residential building. Today, the castle serves as a museum and a venue for cultural and educational events.
