The cultural heritage includes different architectural forms and periods. The traditional homestead at Gornja Meminska, house number 2, is a registered immovable cultural property in the Municipality of Majur. In Svinica, there is a traditional wooden house at number 94; it bears the reference number P-5353 in the official 2016 list. The homestead and the wooden house represent two different traditional building styles within the municipality.

Chapels and the history of fortifications are also part of the area’s heritage. A chapel in Mračaj was built in 1888, and one in Svinica in 1846. The Chapel of St Michael dates from the 19th century. A report from 1563 mentions Svinica Fortress; it had been demolished in 1560. The wooden castle of Mračaj belonged to Count Blagaj and was demolished and burned down in 1559.

At Woonko, visitors can take part in workshops on wet- and dry-felting wool. The two felting techniques offer different ways to work with the material and make the centre appealing to travellers who would like to include a craft activity in their trip. Families have another specific point of interest: the youngest visitors can play a sheep-themed video game there.

Visiting hours are clearly defined: Woonko is open to all visitors every weekday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., by prior arrangement and with expert guidance.
