Castle
Križ Castle (Slovene: grad Križ) or Križ Manor (Slovene: Kriška graščina)[3] used to stand on a small hill above the settlement. It was built in the second half of the 16th century.[3] In 1918, Križ Castle was owned by the Austrian aristocrat Baron Otto von Apfaltrern.[4] The castle was burned down and demolished by the Partisans in November 1943.[5] It contained many valuable works of art; some were burned by the Partisans and others were looted.[3]
