THE FIRST HOUSEHOLDERS IN VISOKO

It is established from the urban records that Visoko consisted of three plots of land, i.e. three hubes, since 1291. In 1560, these lands were owned by three farmers, namely Andrej Storman and his son Gregor and Tomaž Legat. After 1626, the owners of the Visoko estate changed rapidly. Before 1613, he the owner was Urban Podreka. He was not a good owner and sold the estate to Andrej Smole in 1613. Even Andrej Smole was not the owner for a long time. In 1626, Janez Stibell bought Visoko from him. This man died after a few years, and the estate was inherited by his son Lovrenc, who was married to Magdalena Kallan, Filip Kallan's sister. Lovrenc Stibell did not have a lucky hand. Various duties put him in a difficult position. In 1648, he borrowed a large sum of money from the pastor of Poljane. After the agreed deadline, Lovrenc could not repay the debt. This debt was repaid in 1650 by Filip Kalan, brother-in-law of Lovrenc Stibell. Thus, the Visoko estate came into the hands of the Kalans.

Visoko masters did not live off the land alone. Entries in the trade books of Visoko prove that in the last decades of the 17th century they were heavily engaged in trade with Italy.

Janez Stibell and his son Lovrenc, married to Magdalena Kalan, were masters of Visoko from 1625 to 1647, when Magdalena's brother Filip Kalan took over the estate in 1651.

From 1651 to 1893, 8 generations of Kalans mastered Visoko:

• Filip Kalan (1628, Bukovica 4 - 1703, Visoko 1), master of Visoko from 1651 to 1698,
• Martin Kalan (1666, Visoko 1 - 1716, Visoko 1), master of Visoko from 1698 to 1716, when the estate until 1726 managed by his widow Špela (Elisabetha Debellak),
• Jurij Kalan (1706, Visoko 1 - 1777, Visoko 1), master of Visoko from 1726 to 1776
• Štefan Kalan (1737, Visoko 1 - 1796, Visoko 1), master of Visoko from 1776 to 1796, when the estate was managed by his widow Ana (Ana Marija Stroy) until 1805
• Jožef Kalan (1783, Visoko 1 - 1831, Visoko 1), master of Visoko from 1805 to 1831,
• Johan Kalan (1814, Visoko 1 - 1874, Visoko 1), master of Visoko from 1831 to 1874,
• Janez Kalan (1842, Visoko 1 - 1882, Visoko 1), master of Visoko from 1874 to 1882, when the estate was managed in 1886 by his widow Ančka (Anna Starman),
• Ana Kalan, married Hafner (1845, Visoko 1 - 1893, Lontrg 69, Škofja Loka), mistress of Visoko from 1887 to 1892,
• Anton (Tone) Hafner (1899, Lontrg 69, Škofja Loka - 1952, Vienna), master of Visoko from 1892 to 1893.

On June 4, 1893, slovenian writer dr. Ivan Tavčar (1851, Poljane 27 - 1923, Ljubljana, Breg 8) bought the estate in Visoko from Tone Hafner.

The Kalan family from Visoko met the writer Ivan Tavčar's family when Čadež Jakob (1724-1809) from Gorenja vas, great-grandson of Filip Kalan (1624-1703), master of Visoko in the years 1651-1698, married on 3 February 1751 Jera Tavčar (1731-?) from Srednja vas, great-granddaughter of Jernej Tavčar (ca. 1650-1706) from Četena Ravan, who was the first ancestor of the writer Ivan Tavčar, recorded in the church books of Poljane nad Škofjo Loko.

PRVI GOSPODARJI NA VISOKEM

Iz urbarjev je ugotovljeno, da je Visoko že od leta 1291 obsegalo troje zemljišč, to je tri hube. Ta zemljišča so bila leta 1560 v lasti treh kmetov, in sicer Andreja Stormana in njegovega sina Gregorja ter Tomaža Legata. Po letu 1626 so se lastniki visoškega posestva hitro menjali. Pred letom 1613 je bil lastnik Urban Podreka. Ta ni bil kaj prida gospodar ter je posestvo leta 1613 prodal Andreju Smoletu. Tudi Andrej Smole ni bil dolgo časa gospodar. Leta 1626 je od njega kupil Visoko Janez Stibell. Ta mož je po nekaj letih umrl, posestvo pa je podedoval njegov sin Lovrenc, ki je bil poročen z Magdaleno Kallan, sestro Filipa Kallana. Lovrenc Stibell ni imel srečne roke. Razne zadolžitve so ga spravile v težak položaj. Leta 1648 si je izposodil večjo vsoto denarja pri poljanskem župniku. Po preteku dogovorjenega roka Lovrenc ni mogel vrniti dolga. Ta dolg je leta 1650 odplačal Filip Kalan, svak Lovrenca Stibella. Tako je visoško posestvo prišlo v roke Kalanovih.

Visočani niso živeli samo od zemlje. Vpisi v visoških trgovskih knjigah dokazujejo, da so se v zadnjih desetletjih 17. stoletja močno ukvarjali s trgovino proti Italiji.

Na Visokem je od leta 1651 do 1893 gospodarilo 8 generacij Kalanov:

• Filip Kalan (1628, Bukovica 4 - 1703, Visoko 1), gospodar na Visokem od 1651 do 1698,
• Martin Kalan (1666, Visoko 1 - 1716, Visoko 1), gospodar na Visokem od 1698 do 1716, ko je posestvo do leta 1726 upravljala njegova vdova Špela (Elisabetha Debellak),
• Jurij Kalan (1706, Visoko 1 - 1777, Visoko 1), gospodar na Visokem od 1726 do 1776
• Štefan Kalan (1737, Visoko 1 - 1796, Visoko 1), gospodar na Visokem od 1776 do 1796, ko je posestvo do leta 1805 upravljala njegova vdova Ana (Ana Marija Stroy),
• Jožef Kalan (1783, Visoko 1 - 1831, Visoko 1), gospodar na Visokem od 1805 do 1831,
• Johan Kalan (1814, Visoko 1 - 1874, Visoko 1), gospodar na Visokem od 1831 do 1874,
• Janez Kalan (1842, Visoko 1 - 1882, Visoko 1), gospodar na visokem od 1874 do 1882, ko je posestvo do leta 1886 upravljala njegova vdova Ančka (Anna Starman),
• Ana Kalan, poročena Hafner (1845, Visoko 1 - 1893, Lontrg 69, Škofja Loka), gospodarica na Visokem od 1887 do 1892,
• Anton (Tone) Hafner (1899, Lontrg 69, Škofja Loka - 1952, Dunaj), gospodar na Visokem od 1892 do 1893.

4. junija 1893 je posestvo na Visokem od Toneta Hafnerja kupil pisatelj dr. Ivan Tavčar (1851, Poljane 27 - 1923, Ljubljana, Breg 8).

Glej tudi projekt Rod pisatelja Ivana Tavčarja.

Rod Kalanov z Visokega se je z rodom pisatelja Ivana Tavčarja srečal, ko se je Čadež Jakob (1724-1809) iz Gorenje vasi, pravnuk Filipa Kalana (1624-1703), gospodarja na Visokem v letih 1651-1698, 3. februarja 1751 poročil z Jero Tavčar (1731-?) iz Srednje vasi, pravnukinjo Jerneja Tavčarja (ok. 1650-1706) s Četene Ravni, ki je bil prvi prednik pisatelja Ivana Tavčarja, zapisan v cerkvenih knjigah Poljan nad Škofjo Loko.
