Maistrov Stolp
About This Museum
Up on the rolling hills near Voličina, you'll find a bit of living history in the form of Maistrov Stolp. This isn't your typical, hushed museum; it's a tower that still feels like a home, telling the story of a master craftsman and his family. You can almost hear the clang of the hammer from the old smithy out back and smell the bread baking in the original oven. It’s a place that captures the essence of a bygone Slovenian rural life, not behind glass, but all around you.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the place is the master's workshop, left just as it was with his tools laid out on the bench. Upstairs, the family's living quarters are furnished with beautiful painted furniture and everyday objects that show their skill and taste.
Visitor Information
It's best to call ahead to confirm they're open, as hours can be seasonal. The folks who look after it are wonderfully passionate and full of stories, so don't be shy with your questions.
Architecture & Building
It's a sturdy, two-story stone tower house, whitewashed and topped with a steep, dark roof—the kind of solid, handsome homestead that spoke of status and security in this part of the countryside.
