We stopped here on our drive from Novo Mesto to Zagreb parking near the farmers market. It was a short walk up to Tomislav Square where we crossed the small Gradna River to the cathedral. It was closed but from here we could see the distant 13th C Castle ruins. Going 2 blocks upstream, we crossed a covered bridge to the 1772 Manor house of Croatian composer Ferdo Livadic, whose friend, Franz Liszt, had visited here. It's now the Regional Museum but workers inside told us it was under renovation and closed. We then circled around the manor’s garden and back to the lively square to see the 1830 City Hall. Nice active town just over the Slovenian Border.

The museum is a very nice one. Ground floor shows the history development from the prehistoric time to the 20th century, and the upper floor has some nice exhibits from samobor generally (also from Stari grad) and from this house specifically. There is a nice model Of the samobor castle (stari grad) so if you just came down from the castle it’s nice to see how it looked like in the 18th century. If you ask the person over there he can open you another house outside where you can see an old Croatian village house. Unfortunately not everything is written in English. Good solution for spending an hour in samobor.
