Dvorec Trebnik

Trebnik Mansion (Slovene: Dvorec Trebnik) is manorhouse, located in a park above the parish Church of St. George in Slovenske Konjice, Slovenia.

Architecture

The manor comprises two building tracts and their basements; the northern tract has arcaded passageways on the ground and first floors, dating to the Middle Ages. The surrounding grounds contain once-rich gardens with botanically-interesting tree species and shrubs, a fish pond and several associated buildings, such as an orangerie and a gardening outbuilding, now mostly deserted or serving other purposes. The park once also featured a decorative straw-roofed rustic farmhouse.

History

A manor below Konjice Castle was mentioned as early as 1362, held until the 17th century by the barons Trebnik, who sold it to the counts Tattenbach. After them, the manor was owned by the Žiče Charterhouse, from whom it was in 1826 bought by Prince Weriand zu Windischgrätz, in the hands of whose descendants it remained until the end of World War II.

The manor's northern tract, once known as »Berzirzgang« is totally renovated, but fire destroyed much of the southern tract. Part of the southern tract (main building) had been put to were the manufacture and shop of products from medicinal herbs under »Dvorec Trebnik« trade mark.
