Palace in Tyrolean-Swiss Style
Hunting Lodge in Julin
This is an unjustly forgotten place, which once was known to many crowned heads of Europe. The hunting lodge was built in 1880 from larch wood, maintaining it in the Tyrolean-Swiss style. The symmetrical front structure with a portico shaded by a balcony is evident, as well as the somewhat chaotic rear of the building, where one can find a corner turret, a small, glazed observation tower, and a veranda. The building's plan is based on an irregular letter "T". At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the celebrities of the time visited here: Archduke Rudolf Habsburg (son of Emperor Franz Josef I and Empress Elizabeth, known as "Sissi"), Archduke Franz Ferdinand (killed in the Sarajevo assassination), and before World War II, Duke of Kent George. It is worth noting the numerous wooden decorations.
