Most of the village was demolished by the 1976 Friuli earthquake , with only the Church of Saint Nicholas and a couple of buildings remaining standing . Breginj was the settlement in Slovenia most damaged by the earthquake and a new settlement of prefabricated houses was erected for its residents . Media reports at the time on the failure to preserve cultural heritage in the village were censored by Slovenia 's communist government . One of the few remaining houses , a complex of three-story stone houses intertwined with corridors , has been declared an architectural and ethnological monument and houses a small museum
