Gallenfels Manor
Gallenfels Manor
Golnik hospital stands in what were formerly the grounds of Gallenfels castle, a 16th century manor house that stands behind the hospital complex. The manor was constructed by the noble Kreutzer family, giving it its other name, Kreutzhof. The building retains Renaissance form. The wings envelop an arcaded quadrangle. The southern corners are reinforced by two defensive towers. In 1917 it was seized by the state in lieu of payment and subsequently used as the first location of Golnik hospital.
