Valburga

Valburga (pronounced [ʋalˈbuːɾɡa]; German: Sankt Walburga[2]) is a settlement on the left bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Medvode in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.

The paintings of the Mount of Olives and the Way of the Cross displayed inside are by Leopold Layer (1752–1828), based on models by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.

The main hall is painted with high-quality frescoes with mythological themes in the illusionist style.

[4] After the Second World War, the manor was seized by the state and nationalized; from 1946 to 1990 the building was used as a special needs school.
