Hotel Heritage

Central atrium open corridors

Typical open balcony corridors (known as gank's) meander along each floor, from which you have a view of the inner courtyard and the red roofs of the old city centre. Together with the inner courtyard, the balconies represent one of the main features of Renaissance townhouses.

Art under the arches of the townhouse

"The bourgeois living culture of the 19th Century is also distinguished by ceiling paintings that adorned the homes of wealthy residents. Those best preserved, which we discovered during reconstruction, were carefully restored with the help of skilled experts."

Enter into the world of stories

"The inhabitants of this house have crossed the same stone threshold for more than 400 years and have opened the same oak doors that still remember their stories. The rosettes on the front door represent the ancient symbol called a »trutamore«, that according to folk tradition, protected the house and its inhabitants from all evil. We invite you to enter the world of their stories, which will not leave you indifferent."

A memorial to the proud owner of a townhouse

Behind the letters on the keystone hides the name of one of the owners of the house, Jožef Kaltauer, who had the stone built-in with the restoration of the façade in 1844. We preserved and restored the colour palette, ornamental façade and keystone as a sign of respect to the caring owner.

Starry sky in the heart of the townhouse

In addition to Renaissance palaces, bourgeois townhouses also had an inner courtyard or 'atrium' in the style of Roman houses. During the day a fresh breeze and the warmth of the sun caressed their faces, and as night fell, the moon accompanied by the stars, lit up the sky over the house.

Our Heritage

The more than four-hundred-year-old walls of the Hotel Heritage hide inspiring stories, written over time by their mysterious owners. If you listen to them, they will reveal times of patriotic Protestants, powerful rulers, dreamy poets and painters as well as passionate lovers.

16th Century (1511–1616): Fabijan Kirchberger

Forming the foundations of the Slovene written language and the Hotel Heritage Fabijan Kirchberger was the prime seller of Protestant books in Ljubljana and the first known owner of the building in which you are located. He devoted many years to the translation of the Holy Bible into Croatian language, co-written by Primož Trubar among others, who wrote the first Slovene book in the year 1550, thus setting one of the greatest milestones in the history of the Slovenian language.

17th Century (1616–1653): Janez Adam Kirchberger

Forbidden love Janez Adam Kirchberger took over the house after his father's death and soon became entangled in a love triangle with his sister-in-law Ursula Gaionzell, who was engaged to a noble gentleman named Wizenstein. Adam and Ursula fell in love, eloped and were secretly married in Italy. The Clergy and an angry Wizenstein caught up with them the following year and annulled their marriage. After a long struggle with the diocese of Ljubljana, they managed to renew their marriage. They returned to Ljubljana where they lived happily ever after with their two beautiful daughters.

18th Century (1756–1817): Baron Bernard Rossetti

Personal advisor to the last Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire One of the most important owners of the building, in which the Hotel Heritage is located today, was Baron Bernard Rossetti, a personal advisor to the last Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire - Francis I of Austria. Later, under Napoleon's rule, he became principal ruler of Carniola, headed state representation in the Balkans and Galicia, and became governor of Trieste.

19th Century (1806–1876):Count Anton Alexander von Auersperg

Poet and friend of the greatest Slovenian poet In the 19th century, the house where the Hotel Heritage stands today was owned by the influential and noble family of Auersperg. Count Anton Alexander von Auersperg was an important poet, politician and liberal freeman of the time, and a great friend and student of our greatest poet Dr France Prešeren. He married Countess Maria Attems, a painter of floral still-life. A replica of one of her still-life paintings adorns the wall of our hotel.

20th Century (1973–2015):Ars Gallery

A nucleus of art in one of the most beautiful parts of old Ljubljana In the 1980s, the oldest sales gallery in Slovenia – the Ars Gallery's display window was located right where the Lounge of the Hotel Heritage stands today. During the four decades of its operation, close to 500 exhibitions of many well-established painters were hosted. Throughout, the gallery also had a keen ear for young, yet-to-be-established artists; Our doors also remain wide open to young artists, who may exhibit their artwork here.

Hotel Heritage Today

Family in the broadest sense of the word At a time when powerful noble families ruled our soil, family ties represented unconditional trust between cities, regions and empires. These unforgettable ties continue to be created today in our family-run boutique hotel. We invite you to become part of our large family and take a fragment of our secrets and our unconditional devotion back to your kingdom.

Do you remember how amazing it is to drink the tap water?

In Slovenia, we are extremely lucky that the drinking water flowing directly from our taps is of exceptional quality. We have reinstated this more than 200-year-old stone sink found during reconstruction so that you too may take a long sip that will fill you with energy and life.

Under the arches a hidden place

As you climb the narrow wooden stairs, a typical wide hallway opens before you, letting light into the Renaissance townhouse. The ladies and gentlemen living there exchanged warm greetings when passing and today, you can now find a peaceful corner for a short rest or chat.
