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

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

The local church is a chapel of ease dedicated to Saint James and belongs to the Parish of Sveti Vid.^[6] The church features a gilded altar from the second half of the 17th century, adorned with some late Baroque additions. The altar was renovated in 1928 by the wood-carver Franc Bečaj from Cerknica. The bell tower, which appears to have been built as a separate structure, is several centuries old and houses a copper bell dating back to 1445. According to oral tradition, the villagers received the bell from Trsat in exchange for rights to a fair held below Kapelšče Hill (770 m) north of the village.^[7]
