The Maks Fabiani Foundation was founded in 1999 with the aim to support and further the research on the work of the architect and urban planner Maks Fabiani (1865–1962). Its main activities thus include book publishing, expert consulting, and, most importantly, maintaining and developing the archive of Fabiani's work and heritage. Though the latter is thought by many to be one of the most important architects of Mitteleuropa in his time, comprehensive documentation has been only modestly preserved due to the destruction wrought by the Second World War.

His architectural signature style was secession and historicism tinged modernism, which he – together with his urbanistic proposals – imprinted into the urban landscape of numerous European cities, most notably in Vienna, Trieste and Ljubljana. Still, his work can also be found all over Middle Europe, from Bielsko in Poland and Konopište in the Czech Republic, to the coastal cities of Opatija (Croatia) and Palermo (Italy).


Today the archive is housed at the Centre for Karst Architecture in the renovated Štanjel castle, which is a Fabiani's creation as well. As he was a renaissance type of a man, being also a town planner, an arts historian, a speculative engineer and a painter, philosopher, poet and fiction writer, this archive holds a very varied collection.
