Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, Novo mesto Regional Office

The Novo mesto Regional Office of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, founded in 1980, is responsible for cultural heritage in the Dolenjska and Bela krajina regions, with cultural monuments declared of high importance by the state, among them the St. Nicolas Church in Novo mesto with famous altar painting by Jacopo Robusti Tintoretto (1518 - 1594), the Brežice Castle, the Partisan Baza 20 in Kočevski rog, the Ausperg Ironworks at Dvor near Žužemberk and Mithras temple at Rožanec near Črnomelj. Recent motorway building works have uncovered an archaeologically rich region, and archaeological excavations and research work are still under way at different sites. The office has its quarters, conservation and restoration workshop and depots in Grm Castle (16th – 18th Century) with stucco ceiling decoration and wall paintings in the tower room.

The Grm Castle, built in 1586 by Krištof Mordax, combined its residential function with that of defence against the Turkish invaders; it was rebuilt in 1636.
