Štanjel offers several locations for modern business meetings and teambuilding events, while providing a comprehensive service to participants and also taking care of their wellbeing. In Štanjel, all business meetings can be enriched with experiences and cuisine, giving participants an unforgettable experience of the Karst.
With its unique architecture, medieval Štanjel Castle creates a magical, recognisable image from afar. Behind its old walls, beautifully restored and modern spaces await you, offering an inspiring setting for corporate events, conferences, teambuilding events or banquets. Most of the halls inside the castle have natural light.
The famous Ferrari Garden in Štanjel is the work of the architect Maks Fabiani and a cultural monument of national importance. This extremely picturesque open-air space facilitates creativity in event organisation and provides a wonderful backdrop. The terraced garden and the pond with a small island, built in the Art Nouveau architectural style, with selected flora and offering stunning views of the landscape, add unparalleled charm to any event. The interplay of architecture and natural beauty provides a unique backdrop for photographing and filming business or private events. Organisers can be given a consultation on organisation of an event and bespoke implementation.
Štanjel Castle and the Ferrari Garden are true icons of Štanjel, but this magical Karst village can also host business meetings in other ways, outside its most recognisable settings. Looking for something unusual or a little more intimate? The small indoor spaces in the picturesque centre of Štanjel and in the Cultural Centre, as well as some of the outdoor spaces, are the perfect choice for organising business and cultural events, workshops, meetings and social gatherings. Their “anonymity” provides an element of surprise, while their authenticity allows guests to experience the real, hitherto lesser-known Štanjel.
Welcome to the creative garden of Max Fabiani. One of the most important architects and urban planners of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Fabiani designed Villa Ferrari and its garden for his nephew from Trieste. He created a self-sufficient estate for work and leisure, for growing food, recycling waste and collecting rainwater. In doing so, he applied all his knowledge and a sustainable vision in which not a single drop of water went to waste.
Štanjel is a place of countless unique stories that enrich the experience of this one-of-a-kind medieval settlement. Get to know the architect Maks Fabiani and his works better, discover why flower wreaths hang on the front door of every house in the old village and much more.
