Dvor Through Time
The Hocevar rustic house is today an explicit example of a wealthy farm house from the 2nd half of the 18th century. The first Hocevar owners are to be found at Zgornji Brnik already at the end of the 16th century.
The primary Hocevar farm house was located in a part of village, called "Gorn konc" – the upper end. This farm house had until the end of 18th century served as a shack and was abandoned in the 19th century. The owner of the farm, Simon Hocevar, considered building a new farm house at "Spodni konc" – lower end, nearby the St. John the Baptist’s church. He built the farm house in 1768 (a number engraved into the ceiling of the main living room – "hisa" bears witness to that), which has undergone some rebuilding and other changes in the 19th century.
Until the renovations of the farm house started in 2006, the house had preserved its appearance from the 2nd half of the 18th and the 19th century, despite some additional building and rebuilding. Besides the outlook, the inner equipment and other legacy of the last generations of the owners also presented an important starting-point for a renovation and a selection of other equipment for this rustic house, which in 2007 entered a new period of its life.
The Jezersek Family from Sora near Medvode finished the renovation of the Hocevar rustic house with full responsibility and an exceptional touch for the preservation of the legacy of the previous centuries.
