Castles and Mansions

The Vipava Valley is noted as the valley of mansions and castles. The advantageous transport location, mild climate and fertile soil attracted many aristocratic families to set up their estates and households in the valley. From the Middle Ages and up to the first half of the 20th century many wealthy families first built and then maintained a number of representative buildings. Some are still well kept, while others unfortunately fell into dereliction.
