Boštanj Manor
Boštanj Manor (German: Hof Savenstein), locally known as Gradič'k 'little castle', stands above the main road in the settlement. It was erected by the Wernegkh noble family before 1636. After 1782, the owners were the Buseth and Lichtenthurn families. At that time, it was damaged by the French, who established the Illyrian Provinces in the area. After 1826, the Planinc family owned the castle. After 1867, it was owned by the Juvančič family and then the Lipar family. It is probably the successor of Unter Rein Manor, built in the 16th century by the Gallenstein noble family.
