Lisičje Manor

Lisičje Manor stands in the hamlet of Lisičje, northwest of the village center. The building dates from 1560 and its first known owner was Lenart Merharič. The castle was renovated in the 17th century and a castle garden was created by Lenart Fabjančič-Merharič. Before the Second World War, the castle, which contained an extensive library and valuable paintings, was owned by the Englishwoman Mary Lloyd. Later soldiers were quartered in the building, and after the war it was taken over by the Slovene Ethnographic Museum.
