The [[Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, Novo mesto Regional Office|Novo mesto Regional Office]] of the [[Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia]], founded in [[established::1980]], is responsible for cultural heritage in the Dolenjska and Bela krajina regions, with cultural monuments declared of high importance by the state, among them the St. Nicolas Church in Novo mesto with famous altar painting by Jacopo Robusti Tintoretto (1518 - 1594), the [[Brežice Castle]], the Partisan [[Camp Baza 20 Memorial Site|Baza 20]] in Kočevski rog, the Ausperg Ironworks at Dvor near Žužemberk and Mithras temple at Rožanec near Črnomelj.

The office has its quarters, conservation and restoration workshop and depots in Grm Castle (16th &ndash; 18th Century) with stucco ceiling decoration and wall paintings in the tower room.
