Abstract
The Vinica municipality area is characteristic for its rich history with an abundance of preserved cultural and natural heritage, and the goal of this paper is to present these rich cultural layers, as well as the participation of Vinica municipality in the project “Rural detoxication by means of learning about the abundance of cultural heritage DETOX SLO-HR 98“ implemented under the cross-border cooperation program “INTERREG V-A Slovenia – Croatia 2014 – 2020”.
In the middle ages Vinica was an important trade point with the Vinica castrum fort mentioned in the 14th century and St. Mark’s church. In subsequent periods several palaces, manors and other structures of secular character were built in the Vinica municipality area. The Opeka manor remains are distinguished among them, around which a valuable public garden was established, known today as the Opeka Arboretum. The following buildings are also significant: the Patačić mansion, the Mattačić-Dolansky mansion, the Koroskeny-Rupčoć mansion and the Bajnski Dvori castle with an arboretum and chapel. The Pranger stone monument is of special value; the former measure for wheat and the pillar of shame, a unique example preserved in northwest Croatia. Other examples of preserved heritage in the Vinica area that should be mentioned are: the St. Benedict baroque monument, and the baroque fountain with the monument of St. John Nepomuk. The traditional architectural heritage is characteristic for its preserved family houses and estates built with Vinicit stone. In past times as well as today, Vinicit stone was exploited from the Vinica municipality’s Marčan quarry. The majority of family houses and estates in the area were built with Vinicit stone. Vinica municipality participated in the “INTERREG Program DETOX SLO-HR 98” as one of the partners. A traditional Vinica house of Vinicit stone was restored and decorated in the Vinica municipality as part of the mentioned program, a replica was made of the former Vinica pillory and stone measure, the so-called Pranger, and the baroque monument of St. John Nepomuk was restored.
