ProprietorStična Cistercian Abbey

Until the 18th century the library of Stična Cistercian Abbey held several precious illuminated manuscripts in Latin dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, together with the Stična manuscripts of 1428, which represented one of the first written documents in Slovene language; today these manuscripts are held by the National and University Library (NUK), although facsimiles are on view in the Museum of Christianity in Slovenia. Today the Abbey Archives preserve mainly parish records, including baptismal, marriage, and death registers.
