Tolmin Castle at Kozlov Rob
updated 2 days ago
The Tolmin Castle at Kozlov Rob hill was first mentioned in written sources in 1188. Throughout its history, it served as a strategically important fortress, controlling nearby trade routes. Consequently, its ownership frequently changed hands: among its owners were the Patriarchs of Aquileia, the Counts of Gorizia, the town of Cividale del Friuli, the Republic of Venice and the Habsburg family. In 1348 and 1511, the castle was damaged during earthquakes. After 1651 its then-owners, the Coroniny family, chose to abandon its premises and built a new building in the town of Tolmin. From that time onward, the castle fell into disrepair and today exists only as a ruin. It did, however, undergo extensive renovation between 2019 and 2025.
