Rudenek Castle, also known locally as Lekše Castle (Slovene: Lekšetov grad), was a 14th-century castle in the eastern part of the settlement. It was expanded in the Renaissance but abandoned and destroyed in the 18th century. Some of the enclosing walls are still visible, and two stories of one of the original towers survives.[3]
