Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Potok to Potok pri Vačah in 1953.[3]

Ljubek Castle

The remains of the Romanesque Ljubek Castle (or Lebek Castle), probably dating to the 11th century and first mentioned in written documents dating to 1220, can be found south of the settlement. The castle was destroyed in the peasant revolt of 1515 and was later rebuilt. Today, it is only a ruin.[4]

gollark: This would displease me. I dislike "cottagecore".
gollark: First aid is valid, but "helping friends with mental and emotional problems" sounds extremely hard to teach. Although I guess that also applies to independent learning and stuff, and the solution is probably to structure stuff such that it arises easily instead of trying to manually teach it.
gollark: Well, that's different to boring adulty things and jobs.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Also, since they're not very hard you'd probably have a lot of unfilled time if you replaced all school past year 5 with them?
