Of medieval origin, it is one of the most beautiful, fascinating and best preserved villages in the Vipava Valley. The local stone is the element that deeply characterizes its architecture, so much so that the village is considered Slovenian cultural heritage. The narrow streets, sometimes less than a meter wide, called “gase”, form the cross of St. Andrew, patron saint of the parish of Goče. Worthy of note are the stone portals leading to the courtyards of the houses built in Karst style, dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, the magnificent portal of the Church of St. Andrew and the wonderful entrance to the cemetery.

Inside the village there are 4 altars with high reliefs, from the late 17th century, called “pili”. They represent the key stations of Christ's passion and serve as stations during the procession on the feast of Corpus Christi. The fifth station is represented by the chapel of the Holy Sepulchre, from 1687, located near the cemetery.

Goče is also a true museum of viticulture, famous for its ancient underground cellars that testify to the long winemaking tradition of the area. The cellars, dug directly into the limestone rock, represent the architectural treasure of the village. What is extraordinary is their number; in fact, towards the end of the 19th century it was said that there were more cellars than domestic buildings. Currently there are more than 60 of them and some, very old, do not have electric lighting.
