A couple of years ago the author of the present article ruled out the possibility that the Carniolan polymath Janez Vajkard Valvasor (1641–1693) died in the so-called Valvasor´s house in Krško, on the front of which was attached in 1894 a built-in commemorative plaque. The author has then managed to establish with a great deal a certainty that the polymath´s last home was actually the house located some ten metres away from the wrongly identified hous. The purpose of the monograph is to shed light on the history of both houses based on the available data and to clarify any possible dilemmas regarding which of the two houses is the right one. The study focuses mainly on the issue of two the so-called Valvasor´s house during the polymath´s lifetime and on the history of the house that was actually owned by Valvasor.
