Cultural heritage

• A mill and hayrack are located at the Dolenc farm at Podlipoglav no. 25. The mill dates from the 19th century and includes two pairs of millstones and stamp mills. The mill was used to grind flour and later to grind spices. It operated until the 1990s. The hayrack at the farm bears the year 1912 on its gable and has a catslide roof on one side.
• A house in Podlipoglav has been turned into a Partisan memorial with plaques commemorating several local events from the Second World War: the establishment of the Molnik Company on 13 July 1941, the establishment of the second Styrian battalion on 15 December 1941, the burning of 11 houses in Podlipoglav by Italian troops on 24 March 1942, a Partisan encampment from April to September 1942, the battle on Pugled Hill on 23 March 1942, the battle at Janče from 19 to 21 May 1942, the battle at Liberga on 24 December 1942, the presence of the central committee of the Slovenian Communist Party in the village from September to October 1942, and the operation of an underground communist print shop in Sadinja Vas. The sculpting above the door of the house was created by Marko Šlajmer and Frančišek Smerdu. The house and its museum collection were set up in 1959. The house is located in the center of the village at the intersection of the road to Šentpavel.
• At the edge of the forest behind the house at Podlipoglav 23 there is a marker at the place where the underground Urška print shop was operated by the Partisans in the fall of 1942.
