INTANGIBLE HERITAGE
Idrija is located in southwestern part of
Slovenia, at the meeting point of the Alps
and Karst.
Municipality of Idrija covers an area
of 294 sq km.
Has 11.904 inhabitants.
While the town itself has
5.973 inhabitants.
Ore mining in Idrija began after native mercury was discovered in 1490.
Centuries of exploitation have resulted in mine tunnels spanning 700
kilometres and reaching 420 metres below the surface.
The town of Idrija has kept a lifeline to the mine,
resulting in a number of buildings in its old town closely linked to
mininig being preserved to this very day.
The area around the town and the mine is covered by
woodland, which extends high to the plateaus and used to
represent an important resource for the mine`s development.
• Anthony`s Main Road began to be dug in the
year 1500. Initially supported by wood props, the
tunnel was given tube-shaped walls made of lime
blocks and pozzalana mortar in 1766. The 300 –
metre tunnel was used by miners for nearly half a
millennium to enter and exit the mine. Today a
part of the pit has been arranged into a museum.
• The first smelting plant in Idrija was built in the
middle of the 17th century on the left bank of the
Idrijca River at Prejnuta. In 1880 the smelting
plant was moved to the right bank, where it
operated until 1995 and was then protected in
1997 as a monument of technical heritage and in
2001 as a monument of national importance.
• The Kamšt water pump is a powerful and technically
sophisticated pumping plant, built in 1790 near Joseph`s
Shaft. In the rustic brick building is a giant oak paddle
wheel with a diameter of 13.6 meters, which is famous as
the largest wooden wheel in Europe.
• Gewerkenegg castle (1533) was built to house the
administration of the mercury mine and as secure
storage facility (warehouse) for precious metals
and cinnaber. Today, it is a magnificicent spacious
building intended for the Idrija Municipal Museum.

• Mine`s Theatre built in 1769 is the oldest theatre
building made of stone in Slovenia. The building
testifies to the rich and diverse cultural heritage of
Idrija, which includes theatre production.
• Miner`s house, located at Bazoviška 4. The house
was built at the end of the 18th century and was
subsequently refurbished in the 19th century. The
building has a high gable, three floors, a basement
and a mansard. The house is made mostly of
wood, with the exception of the ground floor, which
is made of stone.
• Construction of Francis`s Shaft, which is still
in use today, began in 1792. It is one of the
oldest facilities in the mine and one of the
most important shafts for mine operations and
ore transport.
• The klavže water barriers were built in the narrow
channels of the creeks that converge and then flow
trough Idrija to serve an important purpose – the
floating of wood for use of the Mercury Mine Idrija.
• Achacius Square was an important worksite,
as well as a place where people gathered.
• Town Square. The appearance of the
restored square dates form 2006 and is the
work of architect Boris Podrecca.
• Aumetz Square is one of Idrija`s smallest
squares and is named after a French mining
town, Aumetz.
