− | Though a very important figure | + | Though a very important figure in his time, not much material evidence is left of his life in Rašica. Consequently, he is presented through copies of his books and some other documents and artefacts connected with his life. That is coupled with stained glass portraits of his famous contemporaries, including some of the rulers of the time. Though lacking any significant material legacy, the guided tours offer an extremely informative insight into the historical contexts and the rather epic story of Primož Trubar. |
Next to the main building are a traditional Slovene ''kozolec'' ("wooden hay-drying rack"), a water-driven Venetian sawmill, the [[Skedenj Gallery]] and a well-kept park area. The former stables have been turned into an inn and the granary into a reception and a shop. | Next to the main building are a traditional Slovene ''kozolec'' ("wooden hay-drying rack"), a water-driven Venetian sawmill, the [[Skedenj Gallery]] and a well-kept park area.

Background
Led by Trubarjevi kraji Public Institute, the Trubar Homestead is not actually located on the spot of Trubar's birthplace (featuring a mill as well) but a couple hundred meters lower down the stream (nothing but some ruins remain of the actual Trubar's mill). The 'Temkov maln ("Temk's Mill") nevertheless seemed as good a place as any as it dates back to approximately the time of Trubar's life and was also run by his relatives.
The mill that one can see at the Trubar Homestead todays is ethnologically its the most curious piece, being old about 200 years and is the only remaining one of the many that comprised the one time very active local wood-cutting industry.
Programme
The homestead occasionally hosts workshops (on book printing, bookbinding and similar), painting exhibitions, theatre shows, lectures, literary evenings and and also an annual fine arts colony.
