Radegunda: Church, Golte and Houses
Accommodation in Radegunda
Radegunda near Mozirje has more than one connection to a church: historic houses in different settlement areas, a Late Roman archaeological site and a connection to Mount Golte. When choosing accommodation, Žekovec, Trnavče and the tourist area of Golte should not be treated as one and the same place.
Church and Early Traces
The Church of Saint Radegunda stands alone on the southern slope of Golte. It is first mentioned in 1690. After severe earthquake damage in 1895, it was rebuilt in the Neo-Romanesque style by 1898; the Baroque bell tower was preserved. It was consecrated on 31 August 1903. The archaeological site of Sv. Radegunda, dating from the Late Roman period, is located nearby. The church is a religious site, not a museum that is automatically open to visitors; check access and service times before visiting. The site's archaeological classification likewise does not mean that excavations may be freely entered.
Historic Houses and Settlement Structure
Radegunda includes Žekovec, Trnavče and the tourist settlement area of Golte. The two-storey masonry house at Radegunda 34 dates from 1813 and has a preserved black kitchen. The Radegunda 8 farmstead in Trnavče comprises a house dated 1881, a toplar hayrack from 1889 and other farm buildings. These properties may be privately owned or protected buildings; their history does not guarantee general access to the interiors. The Municipality of Mozirje envisages tourism and recreation primarily in the Žekovec area in connection with Golte. This helps when choosing a location, but does not guarantee any particular activities.
A Hotel in the Right Location
The upper station of the Žekovec gondola lift is located at an altitude of 1,410 metres, at the reception of Hotel Montis. This specific location information applies to the hotel and the upper-station area, not to every accommodation in Radegunda. Check current lift operations, room availability and the route to your destination directly. A different location may be more suitable for visiting the church and houses than for Golte. Municipality: Mozirje.
