SLOVENSKE KONJICE – V OBJEMU ŽLAHTNIH ZGODB

Dobrodošli v Slovenskih Konjicah, v mestu s skoraj tisočletno zgodovino, položenem med skrivnostno

Konjiško goro in sončne zlate griče vinorodnih Škalc v severovzhodni Sloveniji. Prikupno srednjeveško

podeželsko mesto s skoraj šest tisoč prebivalci, katerega prva pisna omemba sega v leto 1146 pod

nazivom Counowiz, s številnimi okoliškimi vasmi zaokroža podobo doline ob reki Dravinji. Mesto

postaja zgled prijaznosti in urejenosti. Vrsto let zapored je bilo odlikovano s številnimi priznanji za

najlepše izletniško mesto, s kar dvema zlatima medaljama iz evropskega tekmovanja Entente Florale

(1998, 2014) se je postavilo ob bok najlepše urejenih evropskih mest, vas Žiče pa mu je v letu 1998

sledila z bronastim odličjem, kar kaže na urejenost celotne občine. Biser kulturne dediščine občine

Slovenske Konjice, Žička kartuzija, se je uspela zapisati med finaliste izbora za Evropsko destinacijo

odličnosti – EDEN 2011. V letu 2015 je bila Žička kartuzija, ob svojem 850. rojstnem dnevu, razglašena

za kulturni spomenik državnega pomena in si s tem pridobila mesto med najpomembnejšimi

slovenskimi kulturnimi spomeniki.

Stari in Mestni trg (Old Square and Town Square)

potoček Ribnica (brook Ribnica) Žička kartuzija (Žiče Charterhouse)

Entente Florale Europe competition (1998 and 2014)

Pravo doživetje je sprehoditi se skozi mestno jedro, ki se deli na Stari in Mestni trg. Stari trg, v

zavetju mogočne farne cerkve Svetega Jurija ohranja zasnovo iz časa prvih omemb, poseben čar pa

mu daje potoček Ribnica, ki ga deli točno po sredini. Na pogoste požare v Slovenskih Konjicah nas

opominjajo freske na trških hišah (št. 2 in 38) in lepo oblikovano kužno znamenje sv. Florjana s štirimi

svetniki nad potokom, ki ga je v 18. stoletju postavil znani konjiški kipar Franc Zamlik. V Starem trgu

je bila nekoč tudi postojanka imenovana

Reganda, katera je bila namenjena prevpregi konj. Konjice, ki so dobile naziv Slovenske šele leta

1934, so torej nastale kot obcestna naselbina in so od vsega začetka imele prometnotržni značaj. Po

zadnjem požaru so v Konjicah zgradili kamnite hiše iz kamenja iz Žičke kartuzije in takšna podoba hiš

se je ohranila vse do danes. Nedavna prenova Starega trga z mestnim parkom in tržnico daje mestu

pridih modernosti in sodobnosti. Obnova je temeljila na uporabi avtohtonega pohorskega tonalita, z

njo pa mesto postaja sodobno urbano središče, stičišče prebivalcev vseh generacij ter turistično

privlačna destinacija.

SLOVENSKE KONJICE – IN THE EMBRACE OF NOBLE STORIES

Welcome to Slovenske Konjice, a charming town with nearly 1000 years of history – laid at the foot

of the mysterious Konjiška gora Mountain and sunny golden wine-growing hills of Škalce in

northeastern Slovenia. An attractive medieval country town, with almost six thousand inhabitants,

Slovenske Konjice was first mentioned in 1146 as Counowiz, and its numerous surrounding villages

round out the image of the valley along the Dravinja River. With friendly locals and tidy well-kept

streets, the town has been a good role model for others for years. Slovenske Konjice prides itself

upon numerous prestigious awards for wellkept and hospitable landscape and won two golden

medals at the prestigious Entente Florale Europe competition (1998 and 2014) where it was placed

alongside the best-kept European towns. In 1998 the nearby Žiče village was awarded the bronze

medal, which proves the tidiness of the whole municipality. Žiče Charterhouse – the pearl of the

cultural heritage in the Slovenske Konjice municipality – managed to place among the finalists of the

European Destinations of Excellence competition – EDEN 2011. In 2015 - on the occasion of the

850th birthday - Žiče Charterhouse was proclaimed a cultural monument of national importance and

this is why it ranks among the most important Slovenian cultural monuments.

The most beautiful experiences are offered on walks through the old town center, which is divided

between Old Square and Town Square. Old Square lies under the shelter of the Church of St George,

and has maintained its appearance from the time it was first mentioned in written sources. A brook

Ribnica gives the town a special magnificence and divides it straight down the middle. Frescos on

market houses No. 2 and 38 as well as the plague

monument above the brook of St. Florian with statues of four saints (a masterpiece from the 18th

Century by Franc Zamlik – a sculptor from Slovenske Konjice) are a reminder of the many fires in

Slovenske Konjice. Old Square also boasted a stop, called Reganda, used for harnessing travellers’

horses. Konjice as it was originally known - Slovenske was only added in 1934 - was a roadside

settlement with a lot of traffic and a bustling market. After the last fire, the buildings were rebuilt

using stone from Žiče Charterhouse, and this building work gives the old town its present-day

character. The recent renovation of Old Square, along with the town park and market, was done

primarily using the autochthon tonalite stone from Pohorje, which gives the town a touch of

modernity. It is through such undertaking that Slovenske Konjice is becoming a modern urban center,

a junction of inhabitants of all generations, and an attractive tourist destination.

Slovenske Konjice so mesto cvetja in vina (the city of flowers and wine)
