Dominkova domačija, Traditional farmhouse in Gorišnica, Slovenia

Dominkova domačija is a farmhouse from the 18th century with an L-shaped layout, wooden walls covered in clay plaster, and a roof sheltering both living and working areas. The property includes two corn storage buildings, beehive structures, and a water well with a wooden shaft system.

Dominkova domačija was built around 1700 in the Pannonian style and remained continuously inhabited until 1990, when its last resident died. In 1989 it was declared immovable cultural heritage of the Republic of Slovenia.

The house keeps its original layout under one thatched roof: a black kitchen, a living room (izba), a pantry, an entrance hall and a farm section. In the yard stand two corn cribs, one woven and thatched, the other wooden with beehives, plus a spring with a wooden trough and a shadoof. The last resident lived here until her death in 1990.

The property sits along the main road connecting Ptuj and Ormož, making it easy to spot from the roadside. Access to the interior may be limited, so checking conditions with local authorities beforehand is advisable.

The courtyard well has a wooden casing and a shadoof: a long pole with a counterweight that lifts the water. The German text mistranslates this as a "shadow system"; the Slovene source calls it zajemanje vode na drog. Behind the house lies a small pond, and two corn cribs stand beside it, one woven and thatched, the other wooden with bee hives.
