The heart of the local community

A place of encounters and creativity

Natalija’s House is not only the entry point for visitors to the Ferrari Garden, it is also a space where the local community gathers. On the ground floor there is a teaching kitchen, where traditional Karst flavours and contemporary gastronomy intertwine through the exchange of knowledge. Workshops, cooking demonstrations and social evenings take place here, giving new life and techniques to old recipes. The multi-purpose hall on the first floor is used for meetings, talks and smaller events. Other users of the space include local associations and artists, among them the Štanjel Wreath Society, which preserves the tradition of weaving St John’s wreaths, inscribed in the Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Slovenia.
