Jelšingrad Manor

The original medieval castle acquired its mature Baroque appearance in the early 18th century, when a richly stuccoed Baroque hall was created, featuring a central oval fresco and four painted medallions. The exterior was complemented by a Baroque parterre garden adorned with allegorical figures representing the four seasons.

In the mid-19th century, the eastern wing of the manor was redesigned in a blend of Oriental styles, with three new Oriental halls added, two of which still partially retain their painted and stuccoed Neo-Moorish ceilings. An eclectic park with rare exotic trees was planted alongside the eastern part of the manor, making Jelšingrad unique in Slovenia — the only manor where European Baroque and Oriental Islamic worlds intersect.

Since 2022, the manor has been owned by the Municipality of Šmarje pri Jelšah, which began the first restoration works in 2023. In the coming years, a comprehensive restoration of the manor and park is planned, along with the development of new facilities and enhanced tourist offerings.
