Kozje is one of our oldest market towns, and the region in the central part of which it is located is named after it.<\/p>

It grew from a clustered settlement and today it is the seat of the Municipality of Kozje. Although Kozje is mentioned as Trachendorf as early as 1130, it was not until the 14th<\/sup> century that a market town was established here. The old town core still preserves its architectural heritage with interesting portals and facades. The Church of the Assumption of Mary is located within. The remains of Drachenburg Castle can still be seen above the town.<\/p>

In the very centre of the market town, you can visit the \u201cSchool of My Mother\u201d \u2013 a museum classroom from the times of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, designed by Kozjansko native Marjan Marin\u0161ek.<\/p>

At the outlet of Bister graben is the Krofl homestead, which consists of a house with a former mill, which is unfortunately no longer in use, and an outbuilding. The homestead is one of the oldest preserved ethnological heritage sites in Kozje. The former residential part is now a permanent museum collection.<\/p>

In Kozje, the exhibition \u201cThe Judiciary in Kozje\u201d also features five cells of the former prisons of the Kozje District Court, which operated from 1932 onwards.<\/p>

In the square you can also visit the Memory Park, the mighty plane tree, the sports park, or take the footpaths to the former castle of Kozje or to Vetrnik (708m above sea level), from where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the wider surroundings. (links on the way)<\/p>

From 2022, a multi-generational centre has been located in the town, in the former post office.<\/p>
