On Saturday, 7 November 2026, we officially opened the revitalised Bitner building in Lovrenc na Pohorju. The event marked an important step in bringing the building back to life and giving it a new purpose.
The ceremony was attended by the Mayor of the Municipality of Lovrenc na Pohorju, Marko Rakovnik, and Polona Rifelj, MSc, from the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning.
The building was blessed by parish priest Robert Senčar, and the opening ribbon was cut together by Polona Rifelj, Mayor Marko Rakovnik and Srečko Mumel.
The cultural programme featured performances by the ARS vocal group and TŠ Musica.
After the official part, visitors toured the renovated rooms and got a closer look at the revitalised building, followed by a get-together with refreshments. Music was provided by Lovro and Tone, who used to play music at Bitner years ago and brought back memories of the old days.
Thank you to all the performers, participants and visitors who helped make this special event!
Bitner opens a new chapter!
