Arhitecture
With its rich outer and interior architectural appearance, the Šivec House is an outstanding example of late Gothic architecture. Following its restoration in 1976, all of its original beauty has been revealed: the façade with its frescoes and exquisitely-designed detailing; the interior with its Collonade entrance hall on the ground floor and smoke kitchen, granary and representative living quarters on the first floor. The room is used as a wedding hall and the Collonade entrance hall is used as an art gallery.
