The Vogler’s House

In the middle of the forest of Motvarjevci stands the Vogler’s House, built in 1934. János Vogler built this house on his wife´s encouragement because she desired a peaceful life in retreat. Since she was profoundly religious, he ordered a statue of the Holy Mary to be put on a pine tree near the building. After his wife’s death, the statue was relocated onto another tree while the wood of the pine tree was used to make her coffin.  After the beginning of the Second World War, the house was rarely used. In January of 1945, the first Partisan troop of Pomurje was founded in the house. In memory of that event, a plaque was unveiled in 1954. The Vogler’s House is a cultural and historical monument.
