History

Today's territory of Slovenia as part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was under Austrian administration. At the beginning since 1850 honorary conservators of the Central Commission for Study and Maintenance of Building Monuments, established in 1850 in Vienna, were responsible for Slovenian lands. In 1911 regional conservation offices got the task of reorganization and decentralization of the Central Commission. Centres for Carinthia, Styria, Crain, Coastal region, and Istria were in Ljubljana, Graz, and Klagenfurt.

In 1913 Monument Office in Ljubljana was founded, which covered the whole Slovenian territories. Dr. France Stele was the first appointed regional conservator, educated in Vienna. After the Second World War Monument office of Slovenia was founded, that extended the coverage on the entire Slovenian territories of the former Yugoslavia. It was active until the outbreak of the Second World War in 1941. After the war the Institute for the Protection and Scientific Study of Cultural Monuments and Natural Heritage of Slovenia was founded in Ljubljana. In 1957 major organizational changes were introduced with a network of intermunicipal and regional institutes. Institutes for Protection of Monuments were founded in the following centres: Maribor (1959); Celje, Kranj and Nova Gorica (1961); Ljubljana (1964); Piran (1969); Novo mesto (1981). In 1981 the Institute was renamed to Institute of Republic of Slovenia for Protection of Natural and Cultural Heritage (both domains got separated in 1994). In 1982 a Restoration Centre was founded, which was separated from the Institute. In 1999 a new law on natural and cultural heritage was enacted, which established the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia as it is today.

Background

The Institute is active in the areas of conservation and restoration. It brings together art historians, archaeologists, architects, ethnologists, sculptors, painters and many other experts, who work in the Institute's seven regional offices located across Slovenia and in the Restoration Centre. Its common goal is to preserve and protect the cultural heritage of Slovenia, and to raise the broader public’s interest in cultural heritage. Its mission is to achieve a balance of cultural monuments of the past with the existing natural and cultural environment and new architectural achievements.

The Institute has Regional Offices in Celje, Kranj, Ljubljana, Maribor, Nova Gorica, Novo Mesto and Piran, and a Restoration Centre and Preventive Archaeology Centre.
