Schweiger House, Historic residential building in Old Square, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The Schweiger House displays distinctive Baroque architecture with an asymmetrical facade, featuring a rustic portal with an Atlas-shaped console supporting a decorative balcony above the entrance.
Built in the mid-17th century with significant modifications by architect Candido Zuliani a century later, the house served as residence for aristocratic families including Countess Maria-Francisca of Thurn-Valsassina from 1749.
Designated as a monument of local significance in 1986, the building represents Ljubljana's architectural heritage and displays coats-of-arms of former noble owners on its facade.
Located at No. 11a Stari trg in Ljubljana's Old Square, visitors can view the exterior architecture while exploring the historic district on foot during regular daylight hours.
The building features an unconventional floor plan completely devoid of right angles, and the Atlas console symbolically holds a finger to its mouth, referencing the Schweiger surname meaning 'the silent one'.
