History

Krasinec Manor Dvorec Krasinec.JPG
Krasinec Manor

Probable Roman finds have been discovered in the area, testifying to its early settlement. According to Johann Weikhard von Valvasor, the nobleman Ivan Adam Burgstall built a manor near the village, and in 1666 also established a manor farm for raising livestock. Between the manor house and the farm there was also a pond and dovecote. By the 18th century, the manor owned three farms in the village and was part of the dominion of Pobrežje. No trace remains of the manor today. In 1899 a historical vineyard cottage in the village was destroyed by fire. During the Second World War, a Partisan airfield was located 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) from the village. It was used by American and British aircraft from fall 1944 to April 1945 to supply war material to the Partisan forces and to evacuate wounded soldiers and British paratroopers. [4]

Johann Weikhard von Valvasor Carnolian scientist

Johann Weikhard Freiherr von Valvasor or Johann Weichard Freiherr von Valvasor or simply Valvasor was a natural historian and polymath from Carniola, present-day Slovenia, and a fellow of the Royal Society in London.

Dovecote structure intended to house pigeons or doves

A dovecote or dovecot or doocot is a structure intended to house pigeons or doves. Dovecotes may be free-standing structures in a variety of shapes, or built into the end of a house or barn. They generally contain pigeonholes for the birds to nest. Pigeons and doves were an important food source historically in Western Europe and were kept for their eggs, flesh, and dung.

Yugoslav Partisans Yugoslavian resistance movement

The Yugoslav Partisans, or the National Liberation Army, officially the National Liberation Army and Partisan Detachments of Yugoslavia, was the Communist-led resistance to the Axis powers in occupied Yugoslavia during World War II.

Church

The local church is dedicated to Saint Anthony the Hermit and belongs to the Parish of Podzemelj. It was built in the 18th century. [5]

Church (building) building constructed for Christian worship

A church building or church house, often simply called a church, is a building used for Christian religious activities, particularly for Christian worship services. The term is often used by Christians to refer to the physical buildings where they worship, but it is sometimes used to refer to buildings of other religions. In traditional Christian architecture, the church is often arranged in the shape of a Christian cross. When viewed from plan view the longest part of a cross is represented by the aisle and the junction of the cross is located at the altar area.

Anthony the Hermit, also known as Antony of Lérins, is a Christian saint. He was born in the ancient Roman province of Valeria, then part of the Hunnic Empire. When he was eight years old, his father died and he was entrusted to the care of the holy Abbot Severinus of Noricum, in modern-day Austria. Upon the death of Severinus in 482, Anthony was sent to Germany and put in the care of his uncle, Constantius, an early Bishop of Lorsch. While there, Anthony is thought to have become a monk at the age of twenty.

A parish is a territorial entity in many Christian denominations, constituting a division within a diocese. A parish is under the pastoral care and clerical jurisdiction of a parish priest, who might be assisted by one or more curates, and who operates from a parish church. Historically, a parish often covered the same geographical area as a manor. Its association with the parish church remains paramount.
