While staying in Medvode hotels, you might want to visit any of the several nearby castles. One of the most popular attractions to those who come to hotels in Medvode is the Castle of Goricane. At one point, the Bishop of Ljubljana used to reside here during the summer months. He received the castle as a gift from the Emperor Fredrik III in 1456. Today, it is once again in the hands of the Catholic Church.

The Castle has been on this site since at least the 15th century. Nearby are the ruins of its predecessor, the property of the Oglei and Spanheim families. After being destroyed completely in afire in 1613, the new Castle arose as a basic two-storied stone structure with two corner towers. What many travelers come to see is the Chapel. Within the confines of this Chapel of the Castle of Goricane, you will find the remarkable work of Venetian and Austrian inspired artist, Franc Jelovesk. His frescoes appear in a number of churches in Slovenia. The chapel also contains the Metzinger altarpieces.
