Goričane Mansion, Baroque mansion in Medvode, Slovenia
Goričane Mansion occupies the site of a former medieval castle and incorporates architectural elements built from stones and materials of that earlier fortress. The structure reveals how successive generations adapted and rebuilt on this location, layering new designs over historical foundations.
The location was documented as a property of nobleman Pribislav in the 10th century and remained under aristocratic control for centuries afterward. This extended period of noble ownership shaped how the site evolved through successive architectural and social transformations.
The mansion housed the Museum of Non-European Culture from 1964 to 2001, contributing to the preservation and display of international cultural artifacts.
The mansion is currently undergoing restoration work led by the Archdiocese of Ljubljana and remains closed to the public. Checking locally for updates before visiting helps ensure you have current information about access and the site's condition.
The building housed a museum dedicated to non-European cultures from 1964 to 2001, where international artifacts and art objects were displayed. This collection served as an important center for experiencing world cultures during that period.
