Honey paradise – The Gallery and Museum Perger 1757 
In Slovenj Gradec you can meet the one and only European gingerbread and candle maker, whose tradition dates back to 1757. The Perger family have been master makers of a broad range of honey and honeycomb products since 1757, when it yielded the first generation of gingerbread and candle makers. Vast technological knowledge and family secrets have been passed down from generation to generation. 
Are you interested in how we produce gingerbread hearts and other products of gingerbread? Maybe how we produce real wax candles? You can also try the best homemade sweets free of preservatives and artificial colours. 
Today, the Perger gingerbread and candle makers workshop is the only one still making traditional gingerbread products and candles, such as honey pastry, a range of gingerbread products, mead, honey brandy, candles for various occasion, energy candles, designed by Oskar Kogoj, energy heart, organic honey and non-alcoholic drinks. 
House of masterpieces Perger 1757 is one of the most interesting tourist points in Slovenia, and thus also in Slovenj Gradec, since every visitor meets with more than two and a half centuries old heritage gingerbread and candle making craft. 
All this and more you will learn and enjoy at the only European gingerbread and candle maker with tradition since 1757, which is already famous around the world by its tradition and products. 
The gallery and museum are open for tourists by prior arrangement. 

Hugo Wolf, who reached worldwide acclaim in the music capital of Europe at that time – Vienna, spent his childhood in Slovenj Gradec. Young Hugo was a child prodigy, playing the violin like a virtuoso. When he succeeded in reaching his musical peak in Vienna, he was praised as the untouchable master of solo. Hugo died young, medically insane. In his memory, his mother commissioned a picture window for the parish church, which is still preserved today.

Štirje kovači is the oldest Slovenian folk-pop ensemble, continuously active since 1954. With their distinctive music and recognizable style, they have always stood out from other ensembles. Through numerous tours, they brought Slovenian folk-pop music to audiences across Western Europe, the United States, Canada, and even Japan. Over the years, their popularity grew steadily. They attracted a wide audience and gained increasing recognition from expert juries at music festivals. In 2000, they received the Zlati petelin (Golden Rooster), the highest award in the field of Slovenian folk-pop music, and their waltz Kam le čas beži ("Where Does Time Go") was declared the song of the century.

The leader of the ensemble, Franc Šegovc, composed over 800 songs and wrote lyrics for more than 200 of them. He published several songbooks, sheet music collections, and authored two books: Naš pobej bo muzikant ("Our Boy Will Be a Musician") and Rjava zemlja ("Brown Earth"). In 2015, he released Šegovčeve melodije ("Šegovc’s Melodies – Waltzes, Polkas, Songs"), a comprehensive collection of 762 compositions he wrote between 1952 and 2015.

For his lifetime contributions to folk-pop music and for promoting the musical and cultural heritage of Slovenj Gradec and the Koroška region both at home and abroad, Franc Šegovc was awarded the title of Honorary Citizen of the Municipality of Slovenj Gradec in 2014.

The shoemaking workshop at Šolska ulica 3, where the Levovnik family worked as shoemakers since 1925, represents a long-standing tradition in Slovenj Gradec. After the renovation of the house in 2018 and 2019, the ground floor space was transformed into a public exhibition that highlights the town’s rich artisan heritage. The workshop’s layout was carefully designed to recreate its appearance after its last major renovation in the early 1970s. The display is further enriched by the story of the shoemaking craft and the archaeological excavations that took place during the renovation of the building.

Visits are possible by prior appointment (at least two working days in advance).
