Calendar

The Škofja Loka Mushroom Society is once again hosting a mushroom exhibition this year. Join us on Saturday, October 25, and Sunday, October 26, under the arcades in the castle courtyard for a symbolic tasting of mushroom tea and mushroom snacks.

Join us for a Castle Matinee! Every last Saturday of the month, you take a guided tour of our permanent collections and get to know the rich natural and cultural heritage of the Škofja Loka area, and afterwards have a cup of coffee (with a coupon) at the Škofja Loka Castle Cafe while enjoying an excellent view of the medieval town.

On the occasion of the school's anniversary, we invite you to the opening of an exhibition of students' artwork on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at 11:00 AM. The works, created under the mentorship of Vida Kejžar over the past decade, will be presented.

At the lecture, Senior Curator of History, Biljana Ristić, will present the military hospitals, with an emphasis on those that operated in Škofja Loka Castle between 1915 and 1918, the establishment of the military cemetery in the town cemetery, and the issue of its maintenance between the two wars.

Storyteller Alja Bulič will part the veil of witchcraft secrets and rituals through stories spanning different eras and cultures.

Join us for an engaging museum workshop! We'll start with a short tour of the archaeological collection, which will transport us thousands of years back in time. We will discuss the lives and customs of people during the prehistoric period and examine numerous interesting finds that will inspire us to create our own prehistoric necklace.

You are invited to a lecture on the Škofja Loka Passion Play and its (pre-)tradition, which will be presented by Dr. Matija Ogrin and Dr. Monika Deželak Trojar, researchers at the Institute of Slovenian Literature and Literary Studies at ZRC SAZU.
