A WALK THROUGH HISTORY ��

In the sources the name �Trebnikke� appears for the first time in 1308 and in 1362 as a �mansion below the Horse manor�.
It�s a well known fact that in 1395, Ne�a von Freudenberg from Zre�e brought the mansion into marriage with Henrich Auer as a dowry. Since 1412 onward, Ahac Trebni�ki and his ancestors have been named after the mansion. It is unclear from the newest civil register if the original Trebnik mansion was situated on the same place as the later one.

Its owners itself are mentioned on numerous occasions during the 16th and 17th century. In 1621 the baron Erasem of Trebnik sold the mansion to Hans Christopher Tattenbach, who merged the Trebnik property with horse stables and who, at the same time, reconstructed the new mansion, which was later known as the Castle of Windischgr�tz, having the same owners the Horse manor as the Trebnik mansion.

The Tattenbach, after the period between the years 1670 and 1685, during which the mansion belonged to the Cesar, were followed in 1692 by Cartesians from �i�ka, between the years 1783 and 1828 the mansion was in the hands of a religious foundation and in 1828 it became the property of the dukes of Windischgr�tz, which merely possessed it until the end of the Second World war. They occasionally lived in it, but they came less often during the war since one part of the building was occupied by Germans, who have been using the premises for a prison. During the war some of the furniture was taken to Austria, some was taken by the locals, who then destroyed it or used it for heating (with few exceptions, there are hardly any original pieces of furniture left in the mansion). Back then, horse, cow, pig, chicken stables, garden, thresher and even a drying-shed were all part of the property.

� UNTIL TODAY
The castle today is represented by two buildings and a small construction whose core, the central part, is - according to the oldest still preserved materials - from the first half of the 17th century. The castle and the surrounding property in the suburban area of the town, known as the Windischgr�tz Castle- and today as the Trebnik Mansion, was bought from the Slovenske Konjice Municipality in 1996 by Jelen D.o.o. Company in order TO FOUND in the premises of the Trebnik Mansion and on 15 hectare area, A PROGRAM WHICH WILL CONNECT DIFFERENT CONTENTS, FROM TOURIST OFFER, EDUCATIONAL CENTRE, SALEPOINTS TO CONNECTING LOCAL BIOPRODUCERS OF HERBS, WHEAT AND VEGETABLE.

 

TODAY the Trebnik mansion represents
Ecological, educational and tourist centre of the Dravinjska valley.

Its activities do not represent only the basic tourist infrastructure, but the entire living and learning life environment, which emphasizes natural and cultural identity. It is composed of multiple subprojects (herbal and thematic gardens, ecological learning polygon, dynamic centre of education, formation and employment, production and sale of natural cosmetics, herbs, textile, ornaments, tourist programmes, new development programmes) and is based on the concept that all these programs are executed at the same time; their development can be seen on the next pages.

We hope that they will transmit some of the spirit, energy and enthusiasm that is felt by everybody, who lives and creates in this environment and tries to design, for you, what we call meaningful moments.
