Leopold Layer, one of the most prolific Slovene painters at the turn of the 18th century worked in a storied house at the turn of the 18th century near Khislstein. The house draws our attention with its picturesque frontage, decorated with classicistic stucco ornaments and complemented by a stone portal and a decoration with a baroque feel under the jutting roof. Even more valuable is the interior which on the first floor reveals a bath-shaped arched room painted in the beginning of the 19th century with personifications of art accompanied by a portrait of the artist or perhaps the architect. The arch above the staircase is also painted; in 1840 Jurij Tavčar painted a man with an ox yoke here. A terraced garden accessible from the house through a large storied arcade will also prove intriguing after its renovation.
