This year, the Škofja Loka Museum will once again participate in the medieval event Historial, which showcases the material and cultural heritage of Škofja Loka and presents the traditions of various guilds. These guilds still inspire different activities in local and artistic crafts today. The central theme of this year's Historial will be the stories of once-important craft houses on Spodnji trg (Lower Square), aiming to introduce visitors to its unique characteristics and historical role.

Join us for a walk through the castle garden, where you'll find a lapidarium with preserved architectural elements from the former Parish Church of St. Martin in Poljane nad Škofjo Loko.
