The only still-inhabited Carthusian monastery in Slovenia (established in 1409), with an exceptional Gothic church and seven Carthusian monks living in clausura also has in its vicinity an Open Air Museum that is part of a long-term national project to establish a "Network of Regional Open-air Museums" with a view to protecting ethnological and architectural heritage. A village with wooden houses and roofs covered with hay, together with farm outhouses, barns, hayracks (kozolec), farm tools, wells, black kitchens, etc., represent village life and culture under the Gorjanci hills in the south of Slovenia at the end of the 19th century. The farm facilities are connected to various farm occupations such as vineyards, cattle raising, pig raising, hen dens, domestic crafts, preparing food, woodwork ... Occasional presentations of farming customs and crafts are also organised. Visitors can also see domestic animals as well as purchase souvenirs in the museum shop.


Background

The earliest attempt to present Open Air Museum as buildings belonging to the region's architectural heritage in the forecourt of the Pleterje Carthusian Monastery was made in 1984. In that year the renovation of the old Gothic church was finished and it was opened to the general public. However, because of the increased numbers of visitors and also to preserve the monastery's peace and quiet, the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, Novo mesto Regional Office and the Pleterje Monastery wanted to find a special location for a range of buildings which would represent a typical 19th century farmhouse of the Šentjernej plain.

In 1990–1991 the Kegljevič farmhouse of 1833 was moved from the village of Ostroge to an area near the monastery. In 1992 it was joined by the Banič House from the village of Mihovo, part of which had to be reconstructed, in 1996 by a double hay-rack with two pairs of windows, and in 1998 by the Simoščev pigsty from the village of Javorovica. The last building to be moved here was the Dobrovoljč pod, a wooden building used for threshing and as a hay-loft.
