The Birthplace of Dr. Lojz Kraigher

The mighty markettown house, the birthplace of Lojz Kraigher (1877-1959), writer, playwright, physician and dentist. Kraigher, who was a contemporary of the Slovenian Moderna and a close friend of the most prominent Slovenian writer, Ivan Cankar, is also considered the father of the Slovenian faculty of medicine. A little further down the town trail in the Postojna Cultural Centre, visitors can see Kraigher's memorial room and learn about his activities in a number of different fields.


Visit the memorial room and see how the workspace of an intellectual from the first half of the 20th century looked like.
