Nice

(Translated by Google) We saw this small church after visiting the castle, as it was close to the bus parking area. A small church from the 15th century, it was probably built by Erasmus of Then, lord and staunch defender of the Predjama castle. As a historical anecdote it was consecrated in 1449 by the bishop of Trieste, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who later became Pope Pius II. We found the church closed, even so there is the detail that you can see its interior from the outside as the windows of the doors are not closed. The photos accompany. (Original) Esta pequeña iglesia la vimos después de visitar el castillo, al estar cerca de la zona de aparcamiento del bus. Una pequeña iglesia del S.XV, probablemente fue construida por Erasmo de Luego, señor y acérrimo defensor del castillo de Predjama. Como anécdota histórica fue consagrada en 1449 por el obispo de Trieste, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, quien más tarde se convirtió en el Papa Pío II. La iglesia la encontramos cerrada, aún así está el detalle que se puede ver su interior desde fuera al no estar las ventanas de las puertas cerradas. Las fotos acompañan.

(Translated by Google) Small chapel where Erasmus was buried. Not accessible. Is blocked with a gate. Located directly on the way to the Predjama cave castle on the left side. You can also see the chapel from the castle. (Original) Kleine Kapelle, wo Erasmus beerdigt wurde. Nicht begehbar. Ist mit einem Gitter versperrt. Liegt direkt auf dem Weg zur Höhlenburg Predjama auf der linken Seite. Man kann die Kapelle auch von der Burg aus sehen.

(Translated by Google) The small church, which although closed is visible through the entrance grate, dates back to the 15th century and was consecrated in 1449 by the bishop of Trieste, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, who later became Pope Pius II. It is likely that it was built by Erasmo da Lueg, lord and staunch defender of Predjama Castle and that it was once full of paintings, which are partially visible today. Following renovations, not much remains of the original structure, but there is a beautiful Renaissance portal (1637), a Baroque altar and, above it, a painting of the Madonna dell'Addolorata (with a dead Christ) and another dedicated to Mary taken to heaven. Next to the church stands a historic lime tree which, it is said, holds under its roots the remains of Erasmo da Lueg, buried here by his beloved. (Original) La piccola chiesa, che seppur chiusa è visibile tramite la grata d’ingresso, risale al XV secolo e fu consacrata nel 1449 dal vescovo di Trieste, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, divenuto in seguito Papa Pio II. E’ probabile che sia stata costruita da Erasmo da Lueg, signore e strenuo difensore del castello di Predjama e che un tempo era ricca di dipinti, oggi parzialmente visibili. A seguito di rimaneggiamenti non rimane molto dell’originaria struttura, ma presente un bel portale rinascimentale (1637), un altare barocco e, sopra di esso, un dipinto della Madonna dell’Addolorata (con un Cristo morto) ed un altro dedicato a Maria portata in cielo. Di fianco alla chiesa sorge uno storico tiglio che, si dice, custodisca sotto le sue radici le spoglie di Erasmo da Lueg, qui sepolto dalla sua amata.

(Translated by Google) It's been a while. Nice little church, unfortunately it was closed. There are some parking spaces before and after the church. There are bus parking spaces opposite the church. A few hundred meters further is the entrance to the Predjama cave castle. (Original) Ist schon eine Zeit lang her. Schöne kleine Kirche, war leider geschlossen. Vor und nach der Kirche sind einige Parkplätze. Gegenüber der Kirche sind Busparkplätze angelegt. Ein paar hundert Meter weiter ist dann der Eingang zur Höhlenburg Predjama.

(Translated by Google) When leaving the castle, it is worth a short visit. You can look through the window. (Original) Pri odchode z hradu stoji za kratucku navstevu. Pozriet sa da cez okno.

(Translated by Google) Nice little church, unfortunately you can only get a glimpse inside through the bars. (Original) Nette kleine Kirche, leider kann man nur durch Gitter einen Blick reinwerfen.
