Štrukljeva Vas (pronounced [ˈʃtɾuːkljɛʋa ˈʋaːs]; Slovene: Štrukljeva vas, German: Strukeldorf[2]) is a small village east of Begunje in the Municipality of Cerknica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
Name[edit]
The name Štrukljeva Vas literally means 'Štrukelj's village' (Štrukelj is a surname in the area).[4] The possessive form of the village's name indicates that it is located in an area that was cleared and settled relatively late.[5]
Church[edit]
The local church is a chapel of ease dedicated to Saint James and belongs to the Parish of Sveti Vid.[6] The church has a gilded altar from the second half of the 17th century with some late Baroque additions. The altar was renovated in 1928 by the wood-carver Franc Bečaj from Cerknica. The bell tower is several centuries old and appears to have been built as a separate structure. It contains a copper bell dating to 1445. Oral tradition relates that the villagers received the bell from Trsat in exchange for rights to a fair that was held below Kapelšče Hill (770 m) north of the village.[7]
