Majdič's mill in Kranj is going to be demolishedIn Kranj, the demolition of the burned-down Majdic Mill has begun under Jelenov Hill.

The mill had been a safety concern for many years and was a symbol of neglect after a fire in 2022. The local municipality of Kranj and the investor have reached a court settlement regarding the removal of hazardous remains. The new building will include 32 apartments, 72 parking spaces, and technical facilities, with construction expected to finish by spring 2028. The investment is estimated at around €6.5 million, and adjacent buildings damaged in the fire will also be renovated.

Mayor Matjaž Rakovec stated that the building is a significant part of the city's industrial history, requiring the preservation of the former mill's characteristic appearance and dimensions.
