Nadlišek Castle

Nadlischeck Castle in the 17th century

Saint Ulrich's church stands on the remains of medieval Nadlischeck (Nadlišek) Castle. The castle was abandoned by the late 17th century, when its owners, the Auersperg counts of Turjak Castle, built a small manor house on a ridge above Hiteno. The manor house, New Nadlischeck, was used as a hunting lodge. It was burned in 1942 by the Royal Italian Army.[4][5]
