Kuschlan Manor

Podplešivica is the site of Kuschlan Manor, also known as Kršljan Manor. The manor was built below Vrbič Hill in 1453. Because the wet ground of the marsh made it accessible from only one side, the manor was also known as Za blatom in Slovene, or Moosthal in German. It was first owned by the Mavrič family, later by the Gallen family, and from 1663 to 1826 by the barons of the Kuschlan family. It was considerably damaged by the 1895 Ljubljana earthquake.
