Stunning!!! Photo by @sergejk87 - Rihemberk Castle is situated above the village of Branik in Slovenia. The mountain slope on which Rihemberk Castle is situated is said to have been occupied by a Roman fort in earlier times. Rihemberk Castle itself was probably built in the 12th century and controlled the crossroads of important routes across the Karst in the direction of Trieste and the Friuli Plain. Its first owner was the Patriarch of Aquileia, who appointed guardians at the castle. -------------------------------------------------------- #vipavavalley #gradrihemberk #rihemberkcastle #branikcastle #medievalcastle #canonslovenija #nasvetzaizlet #novagorica #castlesofslovenia #manor_n_castle #monumental_world #medievalworld #ifeelslovenia #slovenija #slovenialovers #total_medieval #castletime #castlephotography #zamkoholik #vipavskadolina #primorska #topsloveniaphoto #hrad #medievatown #castellidelmondo #europemondopics #visitslovenia #rihemberg #kings_villages https://www.instagram.com/p/B20tlQ-hz3v/?igshid=8hk4tkmmxom8
