Grad Kalc stoji v bližini Knežaka, nedaleč od izvira reke Pivke. Grad, od katerega je danes ostal le še stolp, stoji na pobočju Brega. Prvotni grad, katerega podoba je ovekovečena v Valvasorjevem delu, je v 17.stoletju zgradila plemiška rodbina Stemberg. Volf Ernest pl. Stemberg je grad izgubil leta 1686, ko je bil dodeljen Mariji Ani kneginji Turjaški. Že naslednje leto so lastniki gradu in gospostva gospodje pl. Leo vse do leta 1735. Potem so bili lastniki gospostva Ferdinand pl. Raunach, ki ga nasledi sin Jurij Andrej pl. Raunach, ki ga je pred 1739 prodal Volfu Kajetanu pl. Kuschlanu. Sredi 18. stoletja je grad in gospostvo pridobila Frančiška Jožefa baronica Marenzi, ki ga je 1767 prenesla na sina Jakoba Antona, ki jo je 1782 prodal na dražbi. Leta 1786 posest pridobi Matej Vilhar, prednik slovenskega skladatwlja M. Vilharja, ki je na gradu tudi umrl. Njegova žena Marija Vilhar je leta 1903 posestvo prodala 9 posestnikom v Baču. Grad je po prvi svetovni vojnj začel propadati in iz njega so se prebivalci izselili v okoliške vasi. Lepota Izletniška točka. Lahko posediš v prijetni senci kostanja in lipe. Žal je grad v razpadajočem stanju. Adore those places - views, energies, roads ... 좀 버려진 느낌? 그래도 앞 쪽 들판 경치가 좋아요~ Cute little ruin, great picnic spot. Zanimiva ruševina in ostanek nekdanjega gradu Kalc. Danes stoji še sam znameniti stolp in pa delno zid ob njem. Dostop je omejen, saj se otežen zaradi neurejene makadamske ceste. Parkirišča ni, saj se avto pusti v bližini na travniku. Okolica je delno urejena, škoda da ni več ohranjeno ali urejeno. Priporočam za hitri postanek na poti proti Hrvaški ali če se vračate iz nje. Stemberg or Steinberg was built by the of the same name around 1620. The first owner was Jurij Steinberg but the most famous member of this was Franz Anton von Steinberg, who was born in this on 28th October 1684. He was a cartographer and a painter. During his life he held many notable positions and for many years he was also the administrator of the mine in Idrija. The Steinberg sold the in 1686 and the new owner became the Auersperg family. In the following year the was sold again. It was bought by Baron Janez Krstnik de Leo. In 1721 the changed its owners again. This time it became the property of Count Ferdinand Raunach and after him the was owned by Baron Jakob Marenzi. In 1782 Marenzi sold the at the auction and the property was bought by Matej Vilhar. The most notable member of the Vilhar's was the poet, composer, journalist and politician Miroslav Vilhar, who became the owner of the in 1843. For homeschooling his 9 children he hired as a teacher Fran Levstik,who would later became one of the most well known Slovenian writers. Miroslav Vilhar died in this on 6th August 1871. In 1903 the Vilhar's sold the property to some local villagers and this marks the end of the good times for the castle, which now lays in ruins. Only the tower is still very well preserved. Nevertheless the place is very charming and peaceful. The with the beautiful scenery is definitely worth to visit and the place is great for making memorable photos. Of course you can also take a walk in the surroundings and simply enjoy the mix of nature and history. 😻 Nice place without tourist crowd. Not much to see but nice. Lovely place next to the road which is a must visit if you are near Pivka. A nice old ruin of a and a perfect place to rest on your country hike in the summer sun. Also, it is a monument to unification of Slovenian state, so I'm surprised it does not have more of a monumental look. There is nothing here but nice view and informative signs, so BYOB. Don't forget it is prohibited to sleep under tent outside of official camp sites, this place will tempt you though. The site is little developed and the is locked, but for me the keep is like straight out of a Disney cartoon. On the way from Pivka to knežak go straight, from the main road, where you see the sign at the Y junction, at the sign of the village Zagorje. Drive through the village and keep left. Out of the village proceed on the rubble road another 200-300m and you will see a white tower on the left. Only tower is still standing all the buildings are mostly ruins. The heart of Slovenia. A mystic place.
