Bistra Charterhouse, Former monastery and technical museum in Vrhnika, Slovenia.
The large monastery complex features Renaissance arcades, a classic courtyard design, water wheels, and a wooden bridge crossing a decorative pond.
Founded in 1220 by Carinthian Duke Bernard Spanheimski, the Carthusian monastery operated until 1782 when Emperor Joseph II ordered its dissolution.
The Technical Museum of Slovenia occupies the buildings since 1951, displaying collections of forestry, carpentry, fishing, electricity, and transportation equipment.
The museum contains multiple exhibition spaces across the former monastery buildings, presenting both the religious history and technological developments of Slovenia.
The museum exhibits vehicles used in the film Schindler's List, including cars that belonged to former Yugoslav president Tito.
