A couple of years ago the author of the present article ruled out the possibility that the Carniolan polymath Janez Vajkard Valvasor (1641–1693) died in the so-called Valvasor's house in Krško, on the front of which was attached in1894 a built-in commemorative plaque. The author has since then managed to establish with a great deal of certainty that the polymath's last home was actually the house located some tens of metres away from the wrongly identified house. The purposeof the article is to shed light on the history of both houses based on the available data and to clarify any possible dilemmas regarding which of the two houses is the right one. The study draws on sources about prominent Krško families, the existing birth, marriage and death registers as well as other sources that might in any way help us understand more about the two houses and their owners. The study focuses mainly on the issue of who owned the so-called Valvasor's house during the polymath's lifetime and on the history of the house that was actually owned by Valvasor, i.e. the southern half of today's Mencinger's house.
