Šentrupert (pronounced [ʃɛnˈtɾuːpɛɾt] or [ʃənˈtɾuːpɛɾt]; German: Sankt Ruprecht[2]) is a village in the traditional Lower Carniola region in southeastern Slovenia. In the past it was the cultural and economical centre of the Mirna Valley, but after the railway line bypassed the town the centre shifted to nearby Mirna.[3]

Landmarks

Parish church

The local parish church from which the settlement gets its name is dedicated to Saint Rupert and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1163 and was restyled in the early 15th century.[4]

Hayrack museum

Starting in 2011, the Municipality of Šentrupert has built the first ever open-air museum of hayracks in the southern part of the village.[5] The museum has started operating in June 2013. The collection, named "The Land of Hayracks" (Slovene: Dežela kozolcev), covers 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres) and includes 18 drying devices, among them 17 hayracks, with the oldest preserved from 1795, and presents all types of hayrack. The main organiser has been Rupert Gole, the Mayor of Šentrupert.[5] The museum, which also serves as a place of cultural events, has been open since June 2013.[6]
