Lindek is a settlement in the Vojnik municipality in eastern Slovenia. It lies in the hills to the north of Frankolovo off the main road from Vojnik towards Slovenske Konjice. The area was traditionally part of the Lower Styria region. It is now included with the rest of the municipality into the Savinja statistical region.[2]
The ruins of Lindek Castle can still be seen just south of the settlement. It is first mentioned in written documents dating to 1264, but was extended and rebuilt in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. It was abandoned in the 18th century.[3]
