A metal plaque at the site where books were burned in December 1600.
The plaque in both Slovene and German tells us -
At this place, protestant books were burned during the reformation on 29.12.1600 and on 9.1.1601, including the first Slovene book of Primoz Trubar.
It is dated 2013.
Thomas Chrön was Slovenian Bishop. He was the leading force behind the Counter-Reformation in Carniola, and Protestantism was suppressed in his diocese between 1600 and 1603. He was responsible for burning loads of very valuable books and translated texts that were some of the first in the slovenian language. However, Jurij Dalmatin's Bible translation was retained and he received papal permission to use it, thereby preserving its linguistic and literary tradition.
