history
In 1713, taxes that were felt to be too high sparked the Tolmein peasant uprising , which is reflected in today's coat of arms.
Anton Haus, from Windischgraz , married to Maria Grollnigg, was mayor of Tolmin around 1830. He was the grandfather of the only Austrian Grand Admiral Anton Haus .
The historical landscape is determined by the Soča, on the banks of which a sad chapter in world history was written in the twelve battles of the Isonzo during the First World War . The German war cemetery in Tolmin also commemorates this.
As part of the Austrian coastal region , Tolmin belonged to Italy from 1919 to 1945, then to Yugoslavia .
Cultural asset
The Javorca Holy Spirit Church east of the Isonzo Valley is a memorial to the First World War. It is considered the only Art Nouveau church in Slovenia.
The Patriarchs of Aquileia built a castle on the isolated mountain cone Kozlov rob (426 m), just to the north-west behind the city, where a prehistoric castle complex was found, of which only the remains can be seen today. A historical path connects the valley with the summit.
Furthermore, the Metalcamp (from 2013 Metaldays ), Punk Rock Holiday and the OverJam Festival are held every summer .
