The cultural centre in the village of Dobrnič houses the Memorial Room of the founding 1st Congress of the Slovenian Anti-Fascist Women’s Association, which through photographs brings visitors closer to the image of the difficult times. The congress, unique in Europe of the time, took place here. It was in session in the cultural centre in Dobrnič from Saturday, 16.10., to Monday, 18.10.1943, in the middle of the maelstrom of war. Women, elected from all parts of Slovenia and all military units, in which they operated, attended.
