1874 Prešnica of Counts Attems
The story of Sremič estate started back in 1874 when the first owners Counts Attems from Brežice built a large wooden wine press, which was later declared a cultural monument. This estate only had the role of a wine press for more than 100 years, and after 1985 it was revived as a guesthouse "Tri lučke". According to locals the name of the guesthouse "Tri lučke" represents the three lights on the terrace, which are seen all the way to Krško.
