Villa Mayer
30 minutes
Villa Mayer, a building of the Municipality of Šoštanj, is a typical example of the bourgeois architecture of late historicism. It was built around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It was built by lawyer dr. Fran Mayer, who served as mayor of Šoštanj between the wars. The Municipality of Šoštanj has owned the villa since 2002 when it was renovated in 2009 and permanent collections of cultural heritage were established in the public domain.
