Bokalce Castle (, ''Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru,'' vol. 6: ''Kranjsko''. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 107.) is a castle or mansion in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It stands at 312m above sea level. Name The estate was attested in written sources in 1548 as ''Wokhauez'' (and as ''Bokaliz'' in 1580, and ''Wokhalez'' in 1697).
