Just recently played Slovene version of Monopoly with field of Bogenšperg in it and since I was here very long time ago, the decision was made to visit this medieval and read some famous stories about it. Sadly the coffee was closed, but the exhibition was opened. In winer the is very cold and exhibition inside is not heated. Fortunately there is some original interior. Nice place for one day visit, drink or eat something (when covid will be finished), walking around on prepared trim paths. The basic motive of this is Valvasor's work on copperplate printing workshop, first in Slovenia. And the life of people in this in that period, 17th century. Parking is available in front of castle. You can reach from two directions, from Litija or from Ivančna Gorica. There are "Krčma", restaurant for refreshing yourself, but don't work while covid-19 make problems. Around are beautifull hills, with grass and forests. Pleasure for eye, and for walking. Located near Litija, it is a beautifully restored Renaissance once home to scholar Valvasor. Its exhibits on history, printing, and culture are well-presented, and the peaceful forest setting makes it ideal for a short trip. A charming mix of history and nature, perfect for a relaxed visit. The Renaissance Bogenšperk is located in the municipality of Šmartno pri Litiji, on the ridge of Strmec nad Dvorom. The has been beautifully restored and there is much to see, although I do not recommend visiting the inside because it is almost empty unless you are interested in history of the family, but outside for the nature and peace. Due to its history, it is one of the most important cultural and historical monuments in Slovenia. It is a cultural monument of national importance and a venue for many cultural events from exhibitions to weddings. The last noble owners of the were the Windischgrätz family. They were forced to leave the in 1943, and the interior furniture was destroyed or blown up in the interwar period. After World War II, the housed a military hospital. The building fell into disrepair because it was completely looted. In 1949, the Jesuits moved into such a building for 15 years, and they managed to restore it only enough to prevent further deterioration. In 1972, a systematic restoration of the began. A monument to Valvasor was erected in front of the entrance to the castle. It's a very nice small worth visiting. Staff is friendly and helpful and they'll make sure you have a good time. Just one small thing - we were visiting on the weekend and there was a wedding happening so you might want to check that before visiting. Underrated in a small town not far from Ljubljana. The is pretty There is a bar to sit and chill also a good trail. Only the location that locates in a small town so if just only come here for a would not that worth travelling time. We were visiting for the concert. It is in amazing atmosphere. Don't know if they offering daily food, is more know for the wading ceremony and in summer concert. Bogenšperk is a 16th-century located in the Municipality of Šmartno pri Litiji in central Slovenia. It is best known for its association with the 17th-century scientist and natural historian Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, a fellow of the Royal Society in London Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
