Seminars and company events
Dvorec Visoko is a manor in the Poljane valley, with a Škofja Loka address, that rents several of its spaces for events. The official site lists rentals of the wedding hall for lectures and cultural events, and of the Visoko hayrack hall, a large wooden toplar next to the manor, for workshops, lectures, cultural events, concerts, exhibitions and general assemblies. This suits a company meeting or an association gathering that wants a historic setting rather than a conference center.
The manor is run by the public institute Zavod Poljanska dolina, which also handles rentals. Requests go through the contact details on the official site. The site does not publish seating layouts or equipment lists for the meeting uses, so ask the team about projection, sound and seating when you request a date.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the manor's most detailed offer. The official site presents three wedding locations: the wedding hall, with historic wall and ceiling paintings, for a classic and intimate ceremony; the Visoko hayrack, a rustic Slovenian setting; and an open-air wedding pavilion in the hills, facing the baroque church of St. Wolbenk. A ceremony with protocol can include arrival by carriage, a welcome from the manor's host in the role of Ivan Tavčar, a registrar and music on the zither. Afterward the couple and guests can stay in the garden under century-old trees.
For a meal and dancing indoors, the Dvorana pod velbi, or hall under the vaults, hosts celebrations of up to 200 people for dinner, a music program and dancing until the early morning. The team can prepare a meal with local dishes and drinks on request.
Rooms and capacities
The official site names four event spaces at Visoko: the wedding hall, the hall under the vaults (up to 200 people), the hayrack hall and the open-air pavilion in the garden. Only the hall under the vaults has a stated capacity. The operator also rents a multipurpose room in the Šubič House and a sports hall in Gorenja vas, which are separate from the manor.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms at the manor. In cooperation with Hotel Lonca, in the center of Škofja Loka, the team offers rooms at an adjusted price for the couple and guests, and can help organize transport.
Catering
Food and drink are prepared on request with local dishes and drinks. The manor also has a café, Kavarna Visoko, open on weekends and on some weekdays in winter.
History and setting
Dvorec Visoko was the home of Dr. Ivan Tavčar, a well-known Slovenian writer. His love for his wife Franja inspired several Slovenian classics, and the manor now tells this story through its weddings. It stands in the hills of the Poljane valley, beneath Mount Blegoš.
Getting there
The manor is at Visoko pri Poljanah 1, 4220 Škofja Loka. The official site gives no rail or air details. Ask the team about access and parking when you send your request.
