Frankolovo Manor (also known as Verpete Manor, German: Rephenhof or Sternstein) stands in the southwest part of the settlement on a small slope above the Tesnica River along the main road from Frankolovo to Slovenske Konjice. The building dates to the 16th century with Baroque remodeling from the 17th century followed by neo-Gothic elements added in 1876. It is a three-story structure with two towers.[3]
