Dvorec Visoko, 17th century mansion in Poljanska Valley, Slovenia.
The mansion complex includes residential buildings, an economic structure with a traditional hayrack, and a chapel with a family mausoleum near the forest edge.
The estate, dating from the 13th to 17th centuries, gained recognition when writer Ivan Tavčar and his wife Franja purchased it in 1893 for summer residencies.
The permanent exhibition 'Visoška domačija pripoveduje' presents regional history and connects to Tavčar's novel about the former Kalan family owners.
The mansion offers guided tours, cultural events, wedding ceremonies, and includes a cafe serving local products in a historically furnished setting.
A bronze statue of Ivan Tavčar stands near the chapel, positioned to face his birthplace in Poljane across the Poljanska Sora river valley.
