EVENTS AT CASTLE KHISLSTEIN
May – September 2026
Khislstein Castle, located in what is today Kranj’s cultural quarter, was named in the 16th century after one of its owners, Janž Khisl. The castle is integrated into the town walls, which at this spot remain preserved much as they were 1,500 years ago.
What was once a fortified area is today a place of culture and entertainment.
