The Iron-making, Mining and Palaeontologic Collection in Bucellini-Ruard Mansion, Jesenice, established in 1954, is part of the Upper Sava Valley Museum, Jesenice, which has its headquarters in the same mansion.

History

Bucelleni Ruard Manor, built in 1538 in Stara Sava in Jesenice, when ironworks were dislocated from the nearby Planina pod Golico, was once the centre of the Upper Sava ironworks, for the Karavanke mountains are rich on iron ore. It is named after two owner families, Bucelleni and Ruards from 16th and 18th century, the Manor house underwent major reconstruction works in 1678 and in 1831 extensions in Classicistic manner. In 1869 it was bought by KID (Kranjska Industrial Society).

In Stara Sava one can see also remnants of blast furnace and puddling mill, little ironworks’ church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Roch, workers’ barracks [Kasarna], chimney, mill, and part of the concrete water trough. The complex is protected as a technical monument.

Collections

In 1954 the museum opened a ground floor exhibition on the history of ironworks and mining in Gorenjska region. The exhibition occupies eight rooms with an area of 410 square metres and is divided into the following sections: the early history of extracting iron, blast furnaces, a reconstruction of a forge, transportation and trade in ironware, mining, and charcoal burning, which illustrate the history of ironworks from the oldest procedures to the initial stages of the development of modern technology in the 20th century. The collection also exhibits moving models of iron making settlements, tools and other artefacts relating to the life and work of the Jesenice ironworkers, charcoal makers, blacksmiths and metalworkers.

In 1993 a Paleontological exhibition was also set up, comprising over 4,000 fossil plants and animals from the western Karavanke mountains collected by Jože Bedic (1923–2002), a dedicated local collector of fossils. Each group of fossils is further illustrated by short descriptions, sketches and colour photographs on panels.
