While the exterior resembles an ordinary farm building, the large vaulted interior is decorated with some of the most impressive Renaissance frescoes in Slovenia, which were likely executed by an unknown artist at the beginning of the 17th century. In later years the cellar was later used as a tomb for some of Sevnica's lords and noblemen. Nowadays the building hosts various concerts and other cultural events, but due to ongoing conservation and restoration work on its murals, it will unfortunately be closed to the public until mid- to late-2012.
