Attractions

The only Carthusian monastery still in existence in Slovenia, the Charterhouse Pleterje, is located here in the immediate vicinity of Šentjernej . founded in 1403 by Count Bojan II of Bučar. The monastery, damaged by the Turkish raids, was then surrounded by a 30 m high wall. From 1095 to 2013 it was a Jesuit monastery ; before the Carthusians bought it again in church hands in 2014, it was privately owned.

The Gracarjev turn ( Gretzerthurn Castle ) and the open-air museum are also nearby . Traditions and handicrafts are shown in a 200-year-old farm on the Šentjernej field.
