The Slovenian linguist, poet and writer Peter Dajnko tried to establish the East Styrian dialect in Slovene literature and the style of writing “dajnčica” named after him. A Commemorative plaque is attached in front of the house, which has preserved its original appearance. The habitable area of the house holds an exhibition of a preserved ethnological collection of old tools and a decorated memorial room.
