Žička kartuzija Monastery is a mysterious beauty which has been stirring spirits for centuries. Once between the forgotten years of 1160 and 1165, the Margrave of Styria, Count Ottokar III., who liked to visit Slovenske Konjice, ordered the construction of French Carthusians' home in the remote valley of St. John the Baptist. Since then the Žička kartuzija Monastery has been awakening specific energy. The respectful serenity and personalized peace rule there. It is a relaxing trip.

An interesting fact:

According to the legend of its origin, the monastery is also called Zajcklošter. The story of the legend will be revealed to you while wearing the smart glasses.
