The second part of the paper discusses land cadastres from the so called Josephian cadastre to the Re ambulation (Reambulanz) cadastre. Compared to the Theresian cadastre, they all have a unified structure, regardless of the administrative and political status of the area covered. The author places special emphasis on the Josephian cadastre, since it is an important source for the subject in question, but has largely been overlooked by the public and used less frequently than cadastres of the more recent dates. Two cadastres are of special significance due to their geographic focus and the fact that the public only had a rather superficial knowledge of their existence. They were compiled for the border territories in the West and East of Slovenia; the French cadastre was createdfor the land on the right bank of the Soča river and the Hungarian one for the Prekmurje region. Particularly important as sources for the building and urbanistic history are cadastral plans of the Franciscean cadastre, which determine the position of each building in a certain area and as such provide a strong base for any restrospective research. The Franciscean cadastre plans covered the entire territory of Slovenia except for the Prekmurje region, which was incorporated into the Hungarian cadastre a couple of decades later. 19h century cadastres tell us a lot about the purpose of individual buildings and construction materials of the time, sometimes also providing information on the number of floors and rooms.
