Built before 1213, Prem Castle commands a strategic position above the Reka Valley. Over the following centuries it had many owners, among them the Walseeis, Hallers, Habsburgs and Porcia Dukes. Its last owners were the Zuccolini family from Trieste.


A compact two-storey building with a ground plan in the shape of the letter L, it has a Romanesque nucleus with an extension and a smaller yard protected by a wall. The inner yard was decorated with Renaissance arcades. The entire structure is additionally protected with exterior Renaissance walls and cylindrical towers.

Features of note inside the castle include a 14th-century chapel and a large hall on the upper floor with a wooden promenade gallery and unusual frescoes on a dark background. The castle houses some modest local collections.
