Brdo pri Lukovici is a small settlement next to Lukovica in the eastern part of the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]
Brdo Castle is the located in the settlement. It is a 16th century castle. In the 19th century it housed the local court, revenue offices and prison. In 1943 the castle was burnt down by Partisans and after the end of the Second World War authorities refused permission to its owners to restore the castle, so the building that was left without a roof after the 1943 fire, rapidly began to deteriorate and only the exterior walls remain. The Slovene writer and politician Janko Kersnik was born at the castle in 1852 and was also its owner.[3]
