Cekin Mansion is located on the edge of Tivoli Park in Ljublljana. The baroque mansion was built between 1752 and 1755, supposedly to the plans of the architect Johann George Schmidt by Count Leopold Karl Lamberg. Stylistically, it derives from the Carniolan building tradition, in which, especially in the first half of the 18th century, Mediteranian initiatives met with northern artistic ideals Leopoldsruh Mansion, as it was then known, is a rare example of a suburban villa intended for the relaxation and entertainment of the mobility of the baroque period. It was created on the example of Austrian mansions after the collapse of Turkish power. The fashion  of organising grand balls and banquets, in particular for such constructed buildings, which were intended to charm those invited with their splendour, reached Ljubljana a good half century after Vienna.*
