history

Mokronog was first mentioned in 1137. In 1279 the settlement received market rights. The name of the place is derived from the wet feet you get because the water table is so high and the cellars are constantly flooded.

In 1256 Mokronog Castle was first mentioned in documents as Castrum Nazenfuez . An earthquake and the peasant revolts destroyed the castle in the Middle Ages. The Counts of Krško then rebuilt it as a residential palace. During the Second World War it was burned by the partisans and severely destroyed. Today only ruins remain.

Since January 1st 2007 Mokronog-Trebelno is an independent municipality. Before that it was part of the Trebnje municipality . The place is also known for the leather and shoe industry.
