Hiška Herberstein House
About This Museum
Tucked away in the rolling hills of Ptuj, Hiška Herberstein House feels less like a traditional museum and more like stepping directly into a cherished family album. This charming B&B is a living archive of rural Slovenian life, where every hand-stitched textile and weathered farming tool tells a quiet story. The experience is intimate and personal, curated by hosts who are deeply connected to the region's heritage. It’s a place that captures the soul of the Slovenian countryside without ever feeling stuffy or formal.
Collection Highlights
You'll find beautifully preserved folk costumes with intricate embroidery, a humble yet fascinating array of historic agricultural implements, and generations of family photographs that document life in Mestni Vrh. The real highlight, however, is how these items are woven into the very fabric of the working guesthouse.
Visitor Information
Since it's an operating bed and breakfast, your visit is best arranged by prior appointment or by booking a stay—you're not just a spectator here, but an invited guest. Waking up surrounded by this history with the smell of fresh coffee is an experience you won't get in any city museum.
Architecture & Building
The house itself is a classic example of rustic Slovenian architecture, likely dating back over a century, with its whitewashed walls and traditional wooden features nestled comfortably into the landscape.
