Midwifery in the 18th century

A fabric womb, dated 1760. In 1759 king Louis XV commissioned pioneering midwife Angélique du Coudray to teach midwifery to rural women to reduce infant mortality. Between 1760 to 1783, she traveled rural France and it is estimated that she trained 4000 students during that time.

✨️ Discover the Story of St. Joseph’s Church in Ljubljana 🕊️:

👉 Built in 1914, however, history took a dramatic turn when World War I broke out—transforming the church into barracks and storage for the Austro-Hungarian Army.

🎥 After WWII, the church became home to Slovenia’s first film studio, Viba Film.

👉 It wasn’t until 1996, during Pope John Paul II's visit, that the church was restored and returned to the Jesuits.

✨ Today, it stands as a testament to faith, resilience, and cultural heritage.

We love hayracks!

Kozolec, the traditional Slovenian hayrack

A hayrack (Slovenian: kozolec) is a freestanding vertical drying rack found chiefly in Slovenia. Hayracks are permanent structures, primarily made of wood, upon which fodder for animals is dried, although their use is not limited to drying hay. Other food stuffs such as field maize are dried on them as well. Although it is a practical structure, a hayrack is often artistically designed and handcrafted and is thought by Slovenians to form a distinctive form of vernacular architecture that marks Slovenian identity.

Specific varieties of hayrack include:
Single straight-line hayrack (enojni stegnjeni kozolec)
Single straight-line hayrack with catslide roof (stegnjeni kozolec s plaščem)
Double straight-line hayrack (dvojni stegnjeni kozolec)
Roofed double hayrack (dvojni vezani kozolec)
Roofed double hayrack with one strut (dvojni vezani kozolec v eno drevo)
Roofed double hayrack with two struts (dvojni vezani kozolec v dve drevesi, toplar)
Roofed double hayrack with extension (toplar z repom)
Roofed double hayrack with shed (kozolec s hišo)
Split-level double hayrack (kozolec na kozla, kozolec na psa)
