Lanthieri Mansion was built in the year 1669 and is an example of the Venetian architecture. Its first owners were the Lanthieris, who lived before in the Tabor castle. The Lanthieris renovated a manor in 1762 and gave it a baroque image. The central part of the building with the main entrance was stressed with a stony portal, above which is a balcony with a balustrade fence. Besides the castle owners also renovated the surroundings. In front of the building they made an elongated park with a fountain. They put in the park the baroque statues of boys with different attributes, who told about life and work in the landscape. The Main Square in Vipava represents a centre of happening in the town, here are also restaurants, shops and other.
