Geocache Description:

SLOVENSKO

Na poti z Bleda proti Pokljuki ali soteski Vintgar, nas na Recici s hribcka na desni strani pozdravlja cerkev sv. Andreja. Poleg cerkve Marijinega vnebovzetja na blejskem otoku je to druga podružnicna cerkev blejske župnije. Gre za majhno a zanimivo barokizirano cerkev iz 16. stoletja, okoli katere se še vedno ovijajo ohranjeni ostanki taborskega obzidja. Notranjost cerkve je opremljeno z barocno opravo, oltarne slike so delo F. Jelovška.

Nedalec stran, pod hribom na katerem stoji cerkev pa najdemo grašcino Grimšce. Ta stoji sredi naravnega parka na Recici in je bila last baronov Grimšicev, med katerimi je bil posebno poznan Jurij Adam Grimschitz, soustanovitelj kranjske akademije ved "Academia operosorum" v Ljubljani. Ahac pl. Grimšic je postavil novo grašcino in tudi to so okoli leta 1850 prenovili, Ivan baron Grimšic pa jo je prodal diplomatu in tajnemu svetniku baronu Josefu Schweglu, rojaku iz Gorij. Leta 1887 do 1902 so jo preurejali, po prvi svetovni vojni pa jo je podedoval naš politik in diplomat dr. Ivan Švegel. Preimenoval jo je v Wilsonio v zahvalo predsedniku ZDA Wilsonu. Zdaj spet nosi ime Grimšce. (Vir: www.bled.si)

Lokacija je zanimiva za obisk, saj stoji na poti med jezerom in vasjo Zasip pa tudi na poti proti Pokljuki in Blejskem vintgarju. Vsekakor je vredna, da popotnik naredi majhen postanek in si ogleda ta košcek Bleda.

ENGLISH

On the way from Bled towards Pokljuka plateau or Vintgar Gorge in Recica (part of Bled) we are greeted by the church of St. Andrew, standing on the hill on our right. In addition to the Church of the Assumption of St. Mary on Bled Island, this is second subsidiary church of the Bled parish. It is an interesting baroquized church, originally built in the 16th century with the remains of fortified walls. The interior is fitted with baroque equipment, altar paintings are the work of F. Jelovšek.

Not far away, beneath the church hill, you can find the Grimšce Manor. It is standing in the natural park at Recica, owned by the Grimšic barons. Among them Jurij Adam Grimschitz, enjoyed a special reputation as the co-founder of the Carniolan Academy of Sciences, the "Academia Operosorum" in Ljubljana. The manor was built by Ahac Grimšic and was renovated around 1850. Baron Ivan Grimšic sold it to diplomat and secret counsellor Baron Josef Schwegl, his compatriot from Gorje. It was renovated between 1887 and 1902, and after World War I it was inherited by the Slovene politician and diplomat, Dr. Ivan Švegel. He renamed it Wilsonia in honour of US president Wilson. Today it again bears the name "Grimšce". (Source: www.bled.si)

This location is interesting point for a visit – it is located on the way between the lake and the village Zasip as well as on the way from Bled to Pokljuka and Vintgar gorge. It merits a detour to discover this piece of Bled.
