Church of St Margaret in Žlebe
The church on the slope of Jeterbenk is a late-Gothic building with a star-vaulted nave and figural keystones. The interior includes four Baroque altars and frescoes from the 17th century. A statue of St Margaret is built into the front side of the bell tower. The church was allegedly built in the early 16th century from the ruins of Jeterbenk Castle. A legend says that it was built by the last owners of Jeterbenk, Jakob and Marjeta Hertenberg, who wanted to repay for all bad things that their ancestors, the robber knights, did. Therefore, the church in Žlebe is dedicated to St Margaret (Marjeta in Slovenian) and the church on Petelinc to St James (Jakob in Slovenian). In the past, the church was a popular pilgrimage church of farmers from the surrounding areas.
Church of St Jacob on Petelinc
This church is also connected with a legend which says that it was built by the last lords of Jeterbenk, Jakob and Marjeta Hertenberg. The Renaissance church was built in 1751.
Ruins of Jeterbenk Castle and historical remains of the Hertenbergs, archaeological site of Gradišče
Jeterbenk is the Slovenian version of a name Hertenberg. That is to say, the people simplified the name Hertenberg into Jeterbenk. On the board by the route to Jeterbenk, which also denotes the archaeological site of Gradišče, you can read the following description of the history of the castles: "The old Hertenberg Castle on the slope of Jeterbenk was built in the late 12th century for the needs of consolidation of the Spanheim estate in Carniola. At the end of the 13th century, the castle was no longer suitable for this purpose, so the Jeterbengs built a new Hertenberg below it in the early 14th century. This castle also included the fortress or the separate tower of Nebojs. When the family died out in the late 14th century, all three castles quickly decayed. Historical sources suggest that they were already in ruins in the mid-15th century.
The demolished building was archeologically confirmed as medieval fortification architecture with a wall on the western side and the central building (palladium), leaning against this part of the wall, in the central section. Two bulges are visible in the northern and southern sections which could be the remains of the towers. Based on the remains of glass, pottery and some small finds, the architecture can be place into the 14th or 15th century. Therefore, the finds are from the time when Jeterbenk, as assumed by historians, was already abandoned. Considering this fact, the later, new Jeterbenk, which was also mentioned in the sources, could be discovered in the remains of the building."
Village of Žlebe
The village of Žlebe is a scattered settlement in the northern part of the Polhov Gradec Hills. It consists of numerous hamlets and solitary farms, separated by gorges with streams. The largest stream, the Zakonjščica, springs under Jeterbenk and flows into the Malenščica Stream at Seničica. The hamlets of Žlebe include Kršlje, Pristava, Stežica, Pri Kajžah, Ravanški Grič or Hrušica and Žlebe. In the past, the village was in terms of population even more important than Medvode. The sources indicate that in 1715, there were 39 houses in Žlebe and only 14 in Medvode.
