As soon as you enter the walls of the Polhov Gradec Mansion, you find yourself in a different space and time – a time to enjoy the company of Count Blagay and his wife Antonia over a cup of herbal tea served in their salon. The programme includes a tour of the mansion led by a local guide, admission to the Museum of Post and Telecommunications and the Local Museum.
