This article addresses the issue of neglected architectural heritage through the example of Novo Celje Manor near Žalec in Slovenia and highlights the importance of interdisciplinary scientific research for the effective contemporary interpretation and revitalization of this segment of cultural heritage. Interdisciplinary research allowed for a thorough critical evaluation, correction, and supplementation of past studies and to prove that the Baroque Novo Celje Manor has evolved through a thorough transformation and expansion of the former Renaissance Plumberk Manor. The case demonstrates that interdisciplinary scientific research of neglected architectural heritage is significantly more effective than research limited to a single scientific discipline and that only such research can contribute to high-quality research results, forming the basis for planning successful sustainable revitalization of neglected architectural heritage.
