Kozler bought a mansion just outside the center of Ljubljana (at the beginning of Šiška district), known as the Cekinov grad, and renovated in it in a neoclassical style. Today, the mansion is the National Museum of Contemporary History.
The Kozlers also owned a mansion (Slovene: Kozlerjeva palača) in the center of Ljubljana, close to Congress Square and Čop Street, which was regarded as one of the finest baroque buildings in the city. The building was slated for demolition in 1956 and torn down by the Communist authorities in 1961 in order to widen the nearby street, which caused a public outcry and marked a milestone in the development of postwar urban development in Ljubljana. According an RTV interview with art historian Damjan Prelovšek (16 October 2006), trees now grow at the site of the former building, demonstrating that its demolition was a political decision and unnecessary in order to widen the street.
Kozler also owned a plot of land in the Ljubljana Marshes known as Kozler's Thicket (Slovene: Kozlerjeva gošča). During World War II, the plot was used as a mass grave for victims of the Slovenian Home Guard torturer and killer Franc Frakelj.
In 1999, a Slovenian postal stamp was dedicated to Kozler.
