Predjama Castle is a Renaissance castle built within a cave mouth in southwestern Slovenia. It is located approximately 11 kilometres from Postojna.History of the castle
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 (the German name of Postojna).
A secret natural shaft leads out of the castle, which Erazem ordered to be enlarged, and leads into the kijloungon This shaft allowed Erazem to secretly supply the castle with food in the time of the siege; he also used it to continue with his robberies.
