History

Mokronog was mentioned in 1137 for the first time. In 1279 the settlement was granted market rights. The town's name derives from the wet feet that you get because the water table is so high and the basement is constantly flooded.

1256 this Mokronog castle Castrum Nazenfuez was first mentioned in documents. An earthquake and the peasant revolts destroyed the castle in the Middle Ages. The counts of Krško built it afterwards as a residential palace on. In the 2nd World War it was burnt by the partisans and badly damaged. Today only ruins are.

Since 1 January 2007 Mokronog - Trebelno is an independent municipality. Previously, she was part of the municipality Trebnje. The place is also known by the leather and footwear industry.
