Castle Kamen is situated in the village Begunje on narrow passage, which closes valley of Draga. From former powerful castle are today remaining only ruins, which are exemplary ordered and protected before further decaying. Every year they light a bonfire, celebration in honour of nationality – 25th of June and archery tourney. We trace the first records of castle Kamen in the 12th century, when it was still in the property of landlords of Kamen. In the year of 1261 passed over to property of Ortenburzan and later Celjan's, but there is no exact information. Valvasor is reporting, that has here from falling down out of horse killed Herman III., son of Herman II. Celjski. After their extinction in the 1428 has the castle Kamen passed over to possession of Habsburzan's. Owners have later frequent exchanged. Between them was also famous knight Gasper Lambergar, winner of 85 tournaments, which is also praised in national song of Pegam and Lambergar. In 18 th century castle was gave up.
