Veliko Mlačevo is a village in the Municipality of Grosuplje in central Slovenia. It lies just southeast of Grosuplje itself in the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia statistical region.[2] The settlement includes the hamlet of Boštanj south of the main settlement.
Name
The name Veliko Mlačevo literally means 'big Mlačevo', distinguishing it from the neighboring settlement of Malo Mlačevo (literally, 'little Mlačevo'). The name was first attested in 1277 as zemlassen (i.e., ze mlassen 'at Mlassen'), and in 1313 as in merern Maltscher (Mlatschen), in 1399 as zem grossen Mlatse, and in 1422 as an dem grossen Latschach, among other variations. The name is presumably derived from *Mlačevo selo/polje, ultimately meaning 'village/field belonging to Milač (or Mladič)'.[3]
History
Prehistoric burial mounds and Roman graves have been discovered at Boštanj, above Veliko Mlačevo, attesting to early habitation of the area. The Boštanj state-run farm was established after the Second World War and sold milk to Ljubljana. A brick works south of the settlement was abandoned in 1962, and a sawmill near Boštanj stopped operating in 1965.[4]
Castle
Boštanj Castle (Template:Lang-sl, Template:Lang-de) stands on the foundations of a Roman fortification.[4] It was built up in the mid-16th century by Jacob von Lamberg. In 1678 ownership was assumed by the Ursini-Blagay family, who remained the owners until the beginning of the 20th century. It was a Renaissance castle designed like a fortress with a central rectangular building fortified with towers and a defensive wall.[5] The castle contained many late Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, and also featured valuable Rococo and Classicist murals and ceiling paintings.[4] During the Second World War, after forcing besieged White Guard forces at the castle to withdraw to Turjak Castle,[6] the Partisans plundered and burned Boštanj Castle on 12 September 1943.[4][7] The castle burned for 14 days and the local fire department was forbidden from extinguishing the fire.[8]
