Grad Kamen / Kamen Castle, Zijalka
Kamen Castle (German: Burg Stein) was built in the 12th century by the Counts of Ortenburg. It later became the property of the Counts of Cilli and in 1469 it passed into the possession of the Counts of Lamberg. In the 18th century, the counts gave up the castle and moved to the more comfortable Katzenstein Castle in the center of Begunje.

The oldest part of the castle is the square Romanesque tower in the northwestern part. Later, a Gothic palace with living quarters on four floors was built in the opposite part. In the 16th century, a central Renaissance palace with an inner courtyard was built between the two buildings. The southern slope below the castle was intended for terraced gardens, and in the lower part there was a complex of outbuildings with a mill and sawmill.

Only a few miles from Begunje in the valley of Drage are the mighty remains of one of the most magnificent castles in Slovenia from the 13th century. The castle is viewed from the outside during the whole year and is generally not arranged for sightseeing.
