The thesis deals with architectural projects whose donor was Hermann II., Count of Celje (Cilli). They are connected to the work of the so-called Celje workshop. The study is designed in such a way that some key questions are also presented in the first chapter through a review of the literature. Then follows a short outline of the historical conditions connected with the Counts of Celje. In the next part, six architectural monuments are presented. They are placed in the oeuvre of the Celje workshop: the Princely Palace, the vault of the Chapel of the Sorrowful Mother of God and the vault of the abbey church of St. Daniel, the Minorite monastery in Celje, the Carthusian monastery in Pleterje, and the presbytery of the parish church of St. Cantius in Kranj. In connection with Pleterje, it is also important to mention Hans Melfrid, a personality around whom the idea of a workshop in Celje began. His role as a master builder or construction supervisor is discussed. Then follows a chapter on the possible operation of this workshop in Croatian Zagorje, more precisely on the complex of the Pauline monastery in Lepoglava. The rest of the thesis is devoted to a detailed analysis of the elements based on which the monuments discussed in the literature are placed among the works of the Celje workshop. These also include stonemason marks, which are presented in the form of a database of signs that most often appear on the discussed construction sites. As this is a broad topic, it is crucial to review and analyze the existing literature and present questions for further research.
