First mentioned in 1316, Beeskow Castle combines structures dating from 1250 to 1550. Originally built as a knight's castle, it later served as an episcopal residence before being utilized by the Hohenzollerns. Today, the castle shines as a vibrant cultural and educational center that uniquely blends history and modernity. The 30-meter-high keep, complete with an observation deck, provides a breathtaking view of the town and its surroundings.
Radimlja is a stećak (monumental medieval tombstones, that lie scattered across Bosnia and Herzegovina) necropolis located near Stolac. The necropolis is one of the most valuable monuments of the mediaeval period in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The majority of its stećak tombstones date from the 1480s through the 16th century, as evidenced by the epitaph on one of the tombstones. This was the period when the family Miloradović-Stjepanović from genus Hrabren lived in the settlement located on near hill Ošanići. At the time the location was known as Batnoge, and the creation of the necropolis coincides with the rise of this noble family.
The necropolis includes 133 stećci. When the Čapljina-Stolac road was built during the Austro-Hungarian period in 1882, it ran through the necropolis and destroyed at least 15-20 tombstones.
