Groups of at least 15 people may visit the castle on any day of the year upon prior arrangement. Groups may enter only if they are accompanied by a guide and must make the reservation at least 5 days before coming. There is free parking for buses not far from the castle, just below the parish church of St. Helen. Please arrive 15 minutes before the beginning of your visit. There is free entry for the guide and the driver which is not transferable.

There are two programmes on offer:

A WALK THROUGH PREM’S PAST

We invite you to Prem, a village on a ridge above the River Reka, at the edge of the Brkini hills, which is of both geographical and cultural interest. At one end of the village stands the church of St. Helen, and at the other Prem Castle, which was built in the 12th century. Prem is also known as the birthplace of Dragotin Kette and there is a memorial room dedicated to him in the old village school.

TASTE THE TRADITION OF THE BRKINI

Take a walk through Prem’s past and taste the specialities of the Brkini hills. The Brkini are well known for producing high quality fruit, especially apples and plums. Try some typical brandy, home-made apple juice, honey, plum jam or dried fruit.
