Goričane

Goričane (pronounced [ɡɔɾiˈtʃaːnɛ]; German: Görtschach[2]) is a settlement northwest of Ljubljana in Slovenia.

Goričane Castle was owned by the Ljubljana Diocese and, when it fell into ruin, Bishop Oton Buckheim (1606–1664) made the decision to build the manor.

Construction took place from 1641 to 1644 In 1934 the manor was the site of a regional conference of the Communist Party of Slovenia, which Josip Broz Tito took part in under the pseudonym Rudi.

The manor remained the property of the Ljubljana Diocese until the end of the Second World War, when it was nationalized.

The mansion was used as a museum and exhibition venue until 2001, but it and its surrounding estate were returned by the government to the Archdiocese of Ljubljana.
