Predjama Castle is a Renaissance castle built within a cave mouth in
southwestern Slovenia. It is located approximately 11 kilometres from
Postojna.
The castle was first mentioned in the year 1274 with the German name Luegg, when
the Patriarch of Aquileia built the castle in Gothic style. The castle was built
under a natural rocky arch high in the stone wall to make access to it
difficult. It was later acquired and expanded by the Luegg noble family, also
known as the Knights of Adelsberg.
