The Nadlišek castle was the centre of the Turjak Manor court for the Notranjska Region between the rivers Iška and Zala. From the settlement of the region in the high Middle Ages onwards, the castle exerted a strong influence on the ownership and social structure of the region's estates and the development of political and religious organisations. The migration of the inhabitants of the Trojiška and Vidovska plateaus, which were the property of the castle of Nadlišek in the 19th and 20th centuries, decreased markedly after the Second World War. Both the castle - a silent witness to the region's past - and an entire generation of the region's inhabitants, fell victim to the War.
