The Olimje Monastery, initially a fort belonging to the Counts of Pilstien around 1015, underwent several transformations, transitioning from a fort to a castle to a monastery. In 1550, Count Tattenbach converted it into a Renaissance-style castle. It was donated to Paulines monks in 1657, who transformed the castle into a monastery. In 1782, Emperor Joseph II dismissed the monastery, leading to various ownership changes. Count Attems bought it in 1805, turning it back into a castle. In 1945, the castle was nationalized after the killing of Count Ferdinand Attems. Efforts were made to restore it as a monastery before 1999, when it was turned into a religious house by the Slovenian Conventual Province. Today, it serves as a residence for Minorite monks, housing a centuries-old pharmacy and a herbal garden. The Church of the Assumption of Mary, featuring a grand Baroque altar, is also a highlight.

Mureșenilor Street in Brasov has been a prominent thoroughfare in the town since medieval times, boasting a remarkable collection of historic buildings that span different architectural eras. Among these treasures is the Schobeln House at number 9, which dates back to 1550 and represents the Renaissance period. This street also serves as a testament to the architectural diversity of the late 19th century in Brasov. During this period, a plethora of residences were constructed along Mureșenilor Street, each showcasing distinctive styles. Notable examples include the Neo-Baroque Dr. Nicolai Garoiu House at number 17, completed in 1898, and the houses designed by Christian Kertsch, who succeeded Peter Bartesch as the town's engineer. Among Kertsch's creations are the elaborately ornamented Verzár merchant houses at number 10, constructed in 1886 in an eclectic style. Another remarkable gem along this historic street is the residence of merchant Ghiţă Popp, built in 1887 at number 3, which draws inspiration from neo-Renaissance aesthetics. This exquisite residence is adorned with intricate paintings gracing the passage's ceiling on the ground floor and the parlour's ceiling, adding to the street's architectural richness.
