Kos Manor, Manor house from 1521 in Murova, Slovenia
Kos Manor is a three-story manor house from the 16th century in Murova with a neoclassical exterior and several spaces dedicated to exhibitions. Inside, visitors find an art gallery, permanent collections spread across the upper floors, and a multipurpose hall for events.
The property was built in the 16th century by the Dietrichstein lords as one of four manor houses near ironworks in the Sava Valley. During World War II, the German occupation used it as a detention facility during their time in the region.
Inside the manor, exhibitions explore local resistance and regional history, showing how this community was part of larger movements during the 20th century. These displays help visitors understand the connection between the building and the people whose lives unfolded within it.
The manor is located at Cesta maršala Tita 64 in Jesenice and is easy to reach from the town center. Check ahead about exhibition schedules since temporary art shows rotate on the ground floor while permanent collections remain above.
The manor preserves a reconstructed Gestapo prison cell showing how the building functioned as a transit detention facility during the German occupation. This preserved cell serves as a reminder of the difficult period the region endured.
