The birthplace and home of Slovene classical philologist and lexicographer [[Maks Pleteršnik]] (1840&ndash;1923) is situated in Pišece village near Bizeljsko. [[Pleteršnik Homestead, Pišece|Pleteršnik Homestead]] houses a museum memorial collection, opened to the public in [[established::1994]]. His Great Slovenian–German Dictionary, written at his home in 1883&ndash;1894, was also transferred to CD media by the [[Fran Ramovš Institute of the Slovenian Language]] in 2006. The house presents a local achievement of Pišece villagers, who on their own saved it before collapse, and it has now been declared a cultural monument.

== Background ==
After Pleteršnik's death in 1923 the estate changed several owners, the last one being [[Marjan Hočevar]]. Afterwards the house was in decay until 1993 when renovation began. The house was restored in the period style.

The homestead consists of a house, a chapel, a farm building, and a vineyard cottage. In the courtyard stands a column with [[Maks Pleteršnik]] relief. The house, built in the first quarter of the 19th century, consists of three rooms, furnished with the furniture, personal belongings, and plenty of books of [[Maks Pleteršnik]]. The cellar houses a viticulture collection. Pleteršnik's vineyard cottage, in which the writer died, is used for study visits. At the façade there is a plaque, built in 1933 by [[Slovenska matica]], commemorating the lexicographer's birth.

The estate is becoming a centre of Pišece cultural life, with painting colony and accompanying exhibition taking place yearly as well as many literal events during the Maks Pleteršnik Days in Pišece.
