Šinkov Turn is a village in the Vodice Municipality in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2].
The 18th century church on the edge of the settlement is dedicated to The Virgin Mary. A castle, after which the village gets it name, used to stand in the village. It was originally built in 1250 and survived as a building with a triangualar floor plan and an arcaded courtyard until 1943 when it was burnt down by the partisans. After the end of the Second World War, it was demolished and the stones from it were used as building material elsewhere[3].
