I. The village of Turno takes it's name from the medieval castle of the same name, that is German: Turn, cognate to the English: Tower. The castle was abandoned by the modern age, the memory of it survives only in legends and folklore (a), where it features in relation to the near by historically more pronounced Žusem castle (b). -- references: a) on the Turn castle http://sl.wikisource.7val.com/wiki/Turn_pri_Slivnici http://www.slosi.info/01gradovi/02podrobnejse/stajerska/s-8/slivnica2.php
