Holiday apartment in Oplotnica: Graščina and Oplotniški vintgar

In the centre of Oplotnica, Graščina Oplotnica, also known as Žički dvorec, stands beside a small park. Carthusian monks from Žička kartuzija built it at the beginning of the 17th century. As a monument to rural splendour, it preserves remarkable stucco work, including a chapel decorated with stucco behind a wrought-iron partition.

Culture

Graščina Oplotnica can be visited during opening hours. Groups should register in advance with TIC Oplotnica. Another way to explore the historic surroundings is the “Grajska dama” tourist experience. In historical costume, it provides insights into life at the graščina and the history of Oplotnica. In this way, the building itself and specially designed historical interpretation stand side by side, without limiting the view of the town to a single building.

At the Church of St Barbara, the Črna kuhinja is an ethnological museum. It can be visited by prior arrangement with TIC Oplotnica. A washhouse can also be visited in Oplotnica, where washing is demonstrated as it was done in the past. The two places therefore preserve different aspects of everyday life: the Črna kuhinja is presented as a museum, while the washhouse demonstrates washing in its former form.

The town’s history also includes a local legend. It connects Oplotnica with a sunken “White City” and the surviving pagan statues of Jupiter and Mithras. Alongside the architectural evidence and depictions of earlier ways of life, there is therefore a tradition that links a sunken place with specific statues.

Nature

The Oplotniški vintgar educational trail runs over wooden stairways, small bridges and forest paths above and alongside the sparkling water. Its route is characterised by different types of paths: stairways, bridges and forest paths are all equally part of the trail described above and alongside the water. Until just over 30 years ago, the Oplotnica stream powered one of at least 30 mills and sawmills. In this chronological context, the stream also appears as part of the area’s more recent economic and local history.
