Borl Castle (German: Ankenstein) is an imposing medieval castle above the banks of the Drava northeast of the main settlement in Dolane, Slovenia. It probably dates to the 12th century with 15th- and 17th-century additions. Some wall paintings, sculpture, and internal furnishings survive. In the Second World War, between 1941 and 1943, the castle served as a Gestapo prison. At first the castle stables and later the castle itself were used to imprison, interrogate, and torture suspects. In 1956, a memorial room was opened and a commemorative plaque was unveiled at the castle. It has been protected as a cultural monument of national significance.Our Ptuj travel planning website makes visiting Borl Castle and other Ptuj attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.

Old castle stands high above the river. When you walk or drive up there are nice views. Castle is disappointment. It is closed. Building is property of state in the period of another repair. Locals...

You can't get in. But if you can, it's pretty cool to see everything in ruins.
