SloveniaTraditional region Prekmurje Statistical region Mura Municipality Puconci Area - Total 5.55 km2 (2.1 sq mi) Elevation 271 m (889 ft) Population (2002) - Total 217 [1] Mačkovci (Hungarian: Mátyásdomb, German: Wallbach) is a village in the Municipality of Puconci in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia.[2]
The section of the Slovenian Railways line between Murska Sobota and Hodoš runs through the village.
To the west of the main settlement stands the Marof Mansion, a hunting lodge built by Count Szápáry around 1900. It was used as a summer residence by the counts of Murska Sobota. It is a two-story building with a turret on its east side and the original interior furnishings are preserved, although the surrounding park is no longer maintained.[3] The mansion is currently being renovated and a wine cellar is being built in the hope of developing wine tourism in the region.[4]
