Kranj

Town Hall

  Glavni Trg 4      +386 (0)4 201 39 80     more than a year ago
Located in shadow of the Church of Kancijan on the southern side of the main square is Kranj’s former town hall, which from the exterior still resembles the two separate buildings that were joined to form it: the white 16th-century Gothic structure with its distinctive clock tower and the yellow 17th-century aristocratic mansion. Inside the premises there is a veritable treasure trove of art works and archaeological finds, with the most space devoted to three permanent exhibitions. On the ground floor is a collection of more than 50 smaller sculptures and prints by the sculptor Lojze Dolinar, who was active in the first half of the 20th century and spent his latter years in Kranj - more of his work can also be seen on Slovenski Trg. Much of the building’s first floor is used to present the so-called Iron Thread exhibition, which includes an impressive collection of finds from the Palaeolithic period up until late Antiquity and the Romans, while entire second floor houses countless pieces of folk art from the Gorenjska region. Those interested in visiting the ossuary can also make arrangements to do so here.
