The Slovenian writer Ivan Cankar (1876-1918) came from a lower-class family, which left a significant mark on his work. His birth house, originally a wooden cottage with a thatched roof, burnt down in a fire. In 1880, new owners of the site reconstructed it and gave it its present appearance. Our Vrhnika travel planner makes visiting Cankar Memorial House and other Vrhnika attractions simple, and helps you make a travel plan personal to you.
