The medieval town of Lo\u017e<\/h2><\/div>\n <\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The settlement of Lo\u017e began to develop at the foot of Lo\u017e Castle in 1341. The expansion of the fairground, trade, and crafts, along with the associated privileges, contributed to the development of a fortified market town. To prevent the devastation caused to the town by Turkish raids, the Habsburg Emperor Frederick III elevated it to a free princely city in 1477. The town of Lo\u017e remained an important administrative centre until the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Lo\u017e was burned down during the Second World War. The old urban layout, a small preserved section of the defensive wall, and the town coat of arms \u2013 which has been adopted by the current Municipality of Lo\u0161ka dolina \u2013 still remind us of the times of the medieval city. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Lo\u017e Castle was built in the middle of the 12th century<\/a> by the Patriarchs of Aquileia on a 698 metre high hill above the current settlement of Lo\u017e. It was first mentioned in written sources in 1244 as castrum Los, and later also as schloss Laass. From the middle of the 16th century onwards, it was no longer permanently inhabited and slowly fell into ruin. Of the once mighty fortified complex, today mainly the remains of the double perimeter walls are preserved, in which arrow slits and chutes for pouring pitch are still visible. The Romanesque castle core consists of the remains of a residential house and the central castle defensive tower. The castle ruins can be reached by following a marked path. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Kri\u017ena gora and Ulaka are the most important of the numerous archaeological sites. The oldest objects found date from the end of the Bronze Age and the beginning of the Early Iron Age (9th\u20134th century BC). At least as early as the beginning of the 1st century BC, the inhabitants of the valley came into contact with the Romans and their goods. The roads on the edge of the basin became of great importance for the Roman Empire; the pass towards Babno Polje was supposedly controlled by a military fortress on Nadle\u0161ki hrib. During this time, a settlement also emerged in \u0160marata (late 4th century), where an interpretative board about the archaeological heritage of Lo\u0161ka dolina was erected by the Church of St. Margaret as part of the Lo\u0161ka dolina Heritage Trail. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Mills and sawmills along the Obrh stream<\/h2><\/div>\n <\/section>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

During the boom of milling and sawmilling at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, there were 11 estates in Lo\u0161ka dolina with a water-powered mill and\/or sawmill. They ground wheat, maize, buckwheat, as well as oats, barley, and millet for the inhabitants of the villages in Lo\u0161ka dolina, Babno Polje, and even Prezid, while in the stamps (traditional mortars), they husked barley into pearl barley and millet into porridge. Mills in this area are mentioned in written sources as early as the 11th century; the first naming dates back to 1425 for a mill in Ko\u010da vas. The last water-powered mill to operate in Lo\u0161ka dolina was \u2018Beli malen\u2019 in Markovec in 1983. A Venetian sawmill is still operational at the Bajer estate, where a mill can also be visited. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Ko\u010da vas Manor was built in the 16th century by the Barons Haller. It first entered Slovenian literary history with noble correspondence in the Slovenian language from the end of the 17th century, and for a second time in 1933 and 1934, when the poet Oton \u017dupan\u010di\u010d sought peace and inspiration at the manor. In Ko\u010da vas, \u017dupan\u010di\u010d\u2019s poetry cycle Med ostrnicami (Among the Ostrnice) was created. During the time of the last owners, the Schollmayer-Lichtenberg family, a rich archive with a library was formed in the castle; what remained was moved after the Second World War to the National and University Library in Ljubljana and the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia. After the war, the manor no longer served its original purpose. At first, it was a home for the disabled, later converted into workers\u2019 apartments, and now it is slowly collapsing into itself. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Stari trg pri Lo\u017eu is the administrative and cultural centre of the Municipality of Lo\u0161ka dolina. The tradition of settlement in this area dates back to prehistoric times. In written sources, the town was first mentioned in 1237 and was originally called Lo\u017e. With the establishment of a new settlement (for security reasons and water supply) under Lo\u017e Castle in 1341, the new settlement took over the name, while the old settlement was named Stari trg, first mentioned in written sources in 1384 in the German form Altenmarckt. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In Lo\u0161ka dolina, several stone bridges were built across the Obrh stream as early as the 19th century. The largest, a five-arch bridge, is in Vrhnika; the most famous is the bridge at Renko\u010di in Markovec, as it was allegedly built by the French in 1810; the most hidden is the bridge in Skadulca; the most frequently flooded is certainly the bridge in \u0160marata; and the most prestigious is the bridge across which one drives from the village of Kozari\u0161\u010de towards Sne\u017enik Castle. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After the First World War, the border between the Kingdom of SCS (from 1929 the Kingdom of Yugoslavia) and the Kingdom of Italy cut across the Sne\u017enik\u2013Javorniki plateau. The newly established border, also known as the Rapallo border, profoundly marked the lives of the people, and smuggling flourished. The Italians built new road connections and fortified the border with numerous military facilities (bunkers, barracks) that remain visible today. In the 1930s, the Rupnik Line of defence was created on the territory of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which can be followed in the eastern part of Lo\u0161ka dolina. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Nadlesk Airfield (code: Piccadilly Club) was the first Allied airfield on Slovenian soil during the Second World War. In the summer of 1944, the airfield served for the evacuation of the wounded and escaped Allied airmen and soldiers. It also played a key role in the supply of weapons and equipment and in maintaining communications with the Allies in Italy. A memorial and an interpretation board have been erected at the site of the former airfield near the village of Nadlesk as part of the Lo\u0161ka dolina Heritage Trail. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The Second World War cut bloodily into the lives of the inhabitants. Numerous memorials serve as reminders of the events from this period. At the top of Ulaka hill above Stari trg, a monumental monument with a tomb for those fallen in the National Liberation War was erected in 1953.

The Parish of Stari trg pri Lo\u017eu<\/a> is a leader in the Slovenian region in terms of the number of sacral buildings. Almost every settlement built its own church or chapel. The parish thus contains 22 churches and 3 chapels, as well as numerous smaller shrines and crucifixes. As an original parish (prafara), it existed as early as the 12th century and was named after Lo\u017e until 1831, although its seat was always in Stari trg. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Dedicated to St George, it has a Romanesque three-nave design and a Baroque appearance from the mid-18th century.

An invaluable cultural and historical monument is the Church of St Gertrude in Nadlesk. Its greatest attractions are the frescoes by Master Toma\u017e of Senj from 1511 and a wooden head of John the Baptist from the 13th century. With its perfectly preserved wooden ceiling, choir loft, and three golden altars, it is one of the most atmospherically effective rural churches from the period between the Gothic and Baroque. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The pilgrimage Church of the Holy Cross on Kri\u017ena gora, whose origins are said to date back to the time of the Crusades, became a popular pilgrimage site after 1743, when the Stations of the Cross chapels were erected on the hillside. Its art-historical value is primarily due to the altar paintings with Passion motifs, the work of the Slovenian Baroque master Fortunat Bergant. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In the Church of the Assumption of Mary in Vi\u0161evek<\/strong>, built in the mid-17th century, the main altar stands out with its depiction of the Assumption of Mary, which completely dominates the church space with its Baroque gilding and picturesqueness. Also of interest is the wooden choir with a coffered and painted underside, which houses one of the oldest organs in the Archdiocese of Ljubljana \u2013 dating from 1733. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Church of St Nicholas in Babno Polje was built in 1796, replacing an older church that stood on the site of the original settlement. It was originally a branch of the Stari trg parish, but at the request of the Babno Polje faithful, an independent localia of Babno Polje was established in 1829. In 1830, the people of Babno Polje also built a rectory for their priests. In January 2026, the parish was dissolved, and the former parish church of St. Nicholas became a branch church of the Stari trg pri Lo\u017eu parish. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
