Brdo pri Kranju Castle is Renaissance-style building erected in 1510 by the regional governor and viceroy of Kranj, Jurij Egkh, and was rebuilt several times. In 1562 the castle was visited by Primož Trubar, who gave the castle’s owner, Adam Brdski, one of the first copies of Dalmatin’s Bible.

With the arrival of the Zois family the castle achieved international fame, while the Karađorđević Yugoslav royal family and later Josip Broz Tito used it as an occasional and protocol residence. Today, the castle is used as the main protocol facility of the Republic of Slovenia, and serves to host presidents, representatives of royal families, diplomats and other prominent dignitaries. All this makes Brdo pri Kranju the best maintained castle in Slovenia. Apart from its role as the country’s protocol facility, it is also well-known for its cultural heritage, as it houses collections of statues and paintings by Slovenian artists, stylish furniture from various historical periods, expensive crystal chandeliers, carpets and a rich library.
