MONUMENTS
PLEČNIK MONUMENT TO COMPOSER DAVORIN JENKO
In front of the current modern Church of the Assumption of Mary stands a bust monument dedicated to composer Davorin Jenko. On the centenary of his birth, a monument featuring a bust by sculptor Lojze Dolinar was erected on the north side of the parsonage in Cerklje, but it was unfortunately removed.
Architect Jože Plečnik reused Dolinar’s bust from the removed monument when designing a new monument in the center of Cerklje.
MONUMENT AND GARDEN OF DAVORIN JENKO AT THE SITE OF HIS BIRTHPLACE IN DVORJE
The monument, shaped like a pyramid of artificial stone with a dedication to the composer, marks the location of Davorin Jenko’s birthplace in Dvorje. The fence around the monument, erected in 1935, incorporates windows with wrought iron grilles from Jenko’s birthplace.
