The Defensive Tower of Otocec Castle

Imposing round tower of Otocec Castle with its mighty stone walls testifying to centuries of Slovenian history. The curved path through the green lawn leads to the manor entrance, where ancient medieval structures blend with Renaissance elements. The tower, with its cone-shaped red tile roof, was part of the original defensive system built to protect this strategic outpost on the Krka River. Architectural details, from splayed windows to thick walls, tell of the military function this castle had until the 16th century.
