context_page_description: Mirna is a nucleated village and a minor economic centre in central Lower Carniola, Slovenia. It is the largest settlement of the Mirna Valley and the seat of the Municipality of Mirna. It is situated at the crossing of regional roads and a confluence of several creeks with the Mirna River, along the railway line linking Sevnica and Trebnje.
context_section_description: The main sights in Mirna are:
  Mirna Castle (Slovene: Grad Mirna), a 12th-century castle, destroyed by the Partisans in December 1942 and restored since 1962 by Marko Marin.
  The central bridge over the Mirna River, part of the main road from Trebnje to Mokronog. It was built in the 18th century as a wooden bridge on the order of Maria Theresa of Austria, and rebuilt in stone in the second half of the 19th century due to heavy traffic and the danger of flooding. There is a chapel on its west pier dedicated to the Holy Cross.
  The core of the village, along the Mirna River and the bridge below the parish church.
  The Gothic parish church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist containing 15th-century and 16th-century frescos. It is on a raised terrace at the western border of the core of the village, at the foot of Trbinc Hill. The parish was established in 1863.
  The Ocvirk hayrack (Slovene: Ocvirkov kozolec), at the southern entrance to Mirna to the left from the main road from Trebnje. It is a single stretched hayrack with ten frames. Between the third and the fifth pillar, it has a projecting roof. The pillars are made from oak, and the laths and the roofing from spruce and fir. It has simple roofing, covered with a double-pitched roof. Originally, it was thatched; however, since 1985, it has been covered with corrugated asbestos-cement roof panels. The hayrack was erected in the second half of the 19th century, on the right side of the road, but was moved to the left side in 1906 after the construction of the railroad started in 1908. A dendrochronological investigation, published in 2006, has shown that it was significantly renovated after 1923. It is part of the Path to Laze 1 homestead.
  The National Liberation Struggle (NOB) monument on the prominence of Roje in the northeastern part of the settlement, above the road from Mirna to Mokronog. It is an obelisk of three concrete pillars, joined together in the middle by a metal sphere. 106 combatants are buried in the vault. The monument was erected in 1965 based on plans by the architect Janez Lenassi.
  A church dedicated to Saint Helena, built in the second half of the 18th century. It is in the extreme eastern part of the settlement.
  The Zapuže Manor (Slovene: Graščina Zapuže or Grad Zapuže, German: Schneckenbüchel), in the southeastern part of Mirna. It was built by Erhard von Pelzhofer in 1578 and is said to be named after a large snail found when the foundations were laid (but this is not certain). In the 17th century, it was a refuge of Lutherans.
  The house at Main Street no. 10 (Slovene: Glavna cesta 10), in the southwestern part of the village, along the road to Trebnje. This is a two-story stone house from the first half of the 19th century with a five-axis facade and a wooden balcony on the courtyard side.
  The Kramar farm (Slovene: Kramarjeva domačija), built in the first quarter of the 20th century. It is in the northeastern part of the settlement's nucleus, along the road to Trebnje.
  The two-story building of the Francka Inn (Slovene: Gostilna Pri Francki), in the southwestern part of the settlement, along the main road. It was erected in 1899, and has a five-axis street facade and a stone portal.
  The two-story building of the Kolar Inn (Slovene: Gostilna Kolar), in the southwestern part of the settlement, along the road to Trebnje. It was erected in the second half of the 19th century, and has a five-axis street historicistic facade and a stone portal, closed with a segment arch.
  The house on Laze Road (Slovene: Pot na Laze) no. 1, near the Church of St. John the Baptist, in the southwestern part of the settlement. This is a single-story house, built from stone and into a slope in 1862.
  The Zaplatar farm (Slovene: Zaplatarjeva domačija), built in the 19th century, in the extreme eastern part of the settlement, near the Church of Saint Helena. It consists of a two-story stone-built house from 1838, a single-story outbuilding, a workshop, a smaller workshop with a shed, a toplar (double-rack hayrack with five pairs of frames, built in 1855, and a well.
