In the continuation, the history of the old castle and the building of the new mansion in the 17th century, ordered by the bishop Otto Friedrich Buchheim, are described. The next chapter deals with the redesigns in the 18th century as ordered by the Ljubljana bishop Ernest Amadej Attems who assigned the redesign to the construction engineer from Ljubljana, Candid Zulliani. In the same chapter the mansion’s furnishings are described, which were also owned by bishop Attems. The following chapter describes the 19th century. The initiator of this reconstruction was bishop Anton Alojzij Wolf who changed profoundly the appearance of the mansion as he decided to eliminate the tracts and lower the mansion due to too high maintenance costs. The last part of this term paper focuses on the condition, the renovations and the use of the mansion in the 20th century. The chapter includes the reconstructions of the 1960s, the use of the castle hall for the exhibition on regional conference of the Communist party of Yugoslavia, the use of the mansion as a department of the Slovene Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana, and the condition of the mansion after Slovenia’s independence and its last big restoration which started in 2007.
