Sightseeing - Turjak:
Turjak castle is in a way a cradle of Slovene literature. It is a birthplace-and working place- of protestant theologian, writer and translator of the Bible - Jurij Dalmatin (1547-1589). His sanctuary during the hard era against the protestantism was the castle chapel.
The old castle stood below the present building. Present castle was first mentioned in 1220 as Owersperch, owned by the family Auersperg.
The castle was heavily damaged in the WW2 in 1943. A part of the castle had been renovated, it's once glowing beauty is still to be felt immensely, especially the outside majestic structure.
Despite the renovation works still to be completed, castle and the old chapel with the beautiful frescoes and the hidden chamber of Jurij Dalmatin captures the visitor's eye.
Grad Turjak (nemško Burg Ursperg, pozneje Schloss Auersperg) se nahaja v naselju Turjak, občina Velike Lašče, okrog 20 km jugovzhodno od Ljubljane. Grad ima burno zgodovino, njegovo ime, kot tudi ime kraja Turjak, izhaja iz imena izumrlega goveda tur, ki ga imajo grofje Turjaški v svojem grbu. Na vzhodni strani gradu je v mogočni volovski stolp vzidana kamnita plošča, katere napis govori o najzgodnejši zgodovini gradu. Poleg besedila so v ploščo vklesani grbi in podoba tura, ki je bil včasih pozlačen.

Turjak začel graditi gospod Konrad
Turjaški. Po potresu 1511 je bil razsut,
toda jaz, Trojan Turjaški, dedni višji
komornik Krajnske in Slovenske
marke, sem ga do temeljev
podrl in začel
graditi na novo v l. 1520
V pisnih virih pa se grad prvič omenja leta 1220.
Prvotni grad je stal nekoliko nižje, na sklanem pomolu, od koder se je zaradi odličnega razgleda na rimsko cesto v dolini lahko učinkovito nadziralo trgovski promet. Kdaj je bil zgrajen zgornji grad, ni znano, a sta leta 1318 omenjena še oba. V gradu se je nekaj časa pred preganjalci skrival tudi Jurij Dalmatin.
Med 2. svetovno vojno se je septembra 1943 po bitki več kot 500 vaških stražarjev in legionarjev vdalo partizanom. Partizani so potem izvršili več vojnih zločinov nad ujetniki. Med bitko je bil grad močneje poškodoval in veliko notranje opreme je bilo uničene. V zadnjih letih grad temeljito obnavljajo. V njem organizirajo tudi poroke.
1. septembra 2006 je bilo v gradu s strani mednarodnega reda Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosomilitani Universalis razglašeno veliko priorstvo Neodvisnega reda vitezov templjarjev Slovenije.
V okolje gradu Turjak je France Prešeren postavil eno svojih pesnitev, »Turjaško Rozamundo«:
Hrast stoji v turjaškem dvóri,
vrh vzdiguje svoj v oblake,
v senci pri kamnitni mizi
zbor sedi gospode žlahtne,
ker Turjačan spet gostuje
Rozamundine snubače.
