The history of that centre is very similar to a large part of that enchanting Slovenian territory originally settled by Illyrian tribes and later inhabited by Celts, the Norici also known as Taurisci who occupied a big area of the current Upper Carniola before the Roman colonisation started in 183 BC.
Those populations were progressively assimilated in a pretty long campaign which formed an extensive Region called Noricum officially incorporated in the domains of the Imperial Rome in 16 BC.
After the fall of the Roman Empire in different periods the land was invaded by Ostrogoths, Avars, Lombards, Huns and Slavs, the latter ancestors of the current population who reached from east the region in the 6th century.
Afterwards that area was in the mid of the the 8th century a domain of the Duchy of Bavaria before to be conquered in 788 by the Franks led by Charlemagne who integrated it in the Holy Roman Empire.
In 828 Preddvor was part of independent province controlled by a Slavic margrave with headquarter Kranj but under control of Bavarian Governors moving in 976 into the Duchy of Carinthia which ceded it in 1077 to the Patriarchate of Aquileia but returning to Austrian domain in the 12th century.

The first attested denomination of the town was recorded in 1147 as Niwenhouen meaning in German language new manor because in that concrete year was established a small castle which was granted to Stift Viktring, a fomer Cistercian Abbey situated in the Austrian State of Carinthia by the Governor Berthold II.
The name was later changed in 1238 in Neurhouen taking a further one in 1488 when it was called Vom Hoff linked to the Slavic translation of Preddvor consisting in the inflection of the composition of two words as Pred meaning in front and vor which means manor while in a more contemporary era it was renamed as Wurzbach Dvorec (manor in Slovenian) because occupied by a family with that surname.
For a brief period Preddvor and its surroundings were under rule of the Counts of Celje, nobles who were before vassals and later
declared enemies of the House of Habsburg but that Slavic aristocratic dynasty ceased to exist
in the 15th century with the death of the last Count.
The chronological historic stages linked to a long domain of the the Austrian Emperors which inherited the territory continued with frequent contacts with the Venetians who with their Marine Republic governed the nearest Slovenian Littoral and suffering invasions by the Turks in the famous Ottoman-Habsburg wars fought from the 16th through the 18th centuries in a large European area.
The town under Austro-Hungarian influence always kept a profile of a peaceful but active centre living mainly of agriculture and small trades with several political reforms which highlighted those activities but also a defined territorial subdivision and urbanisation.
During its more contemporary history after the fall of the the Imperial Austria in occasion of the 1st World War ended in 1918 Preddvor was incorporated in the Serbian,Croatian and Slovenian Kingdom.
The long and strong Austrian influence endured over six centuries started in the middle ages exactly in the 14th century ending in the early 20th century, a long period which wss characterised by notable improvements in terms of commerce, communications and innovative agricultural processes of productivity despite with many years lived in a regime of traditional feudalism with local governors who often overshadowed the progress of the local low social class.
The Austrian domination marked many local cultural aspects in architecture, gastronomy and language because a big part of the population for long time and in several cases linked to the old local generations kept as second language the German behind the Slovenian which was in many areas more spoken than the Serb-Croat which had more morphological affinities and pretty similar as part of the same Slavic linguistic group.
The 2nd World War was highlighted by a German occupation and after that event Preddvor was part of the new established Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia created by the Marshal Tito with in the late 50's a pretty big local immigration to the nearest Austria especially to the States of Carinthia and Styria.
The last years are notorious with the war in Yugoslavia with the town part of the the new Republic of Slovenia, independent state since 1991 and entering in the Euopean Community in 2004.

The first impact with the town is simply great facing a marvellous green Slovenian countryside with a charming Alpine horizon delighting your view and that is certainly a superb introduction.
You can start the visit from Cerkev sveti Petar Župnijska, the Church dedicated to St.Peter situated in a beautiful natural environment consistingin a verdant space totally surrounded by a splendid forest.
Erected in medieval times according to historic documentations which mentioned its construction in the 12th century, that Religious building was several times restored especially after the the damages suffered during a raid by the Ottoman army and it was totally re-arranged in the early 16th century by some local artists who gave the construction a new aspect taking after a large and laborious refurbishment a Baroque image.
In the 18th century there were further works and the only old architectural element conserved linked to the old structure is the high white tower bell dated the 16th century confirmed by an engraved number depicting a 1503 visible on a stone of its western side.
Elevated on a rectangular plan the roof which covers the apse and the nave is surmounted by a small dome beneath a turret topped by a pinnacle.
The interior is very attractive with a big nave with aisles, a fine presbytery flanking a Baroque altar and also the altarpieces established on the sides were developed using the same architectural style.
You can admire relevant works as a painting depicting the Last Supper by Janez Wolk, a talented artist from Leskovec very active in the entire country including in the capital Ljubljana where he died. Other artists embellished that Church as Matija Bradaška who painted the presbytery, some altars are works by the artist Vrbnik and a further highlight is a crypt with a nave and aisles.

On the southern side of that waters basin is situated Grad Hrib, one of the manors of Preddvor, which translation means castle of the hill for its position on a splendid hilly plateau very picturesque.Despite the former was elevated in the 12th century, that one you can admire nowadays was re-established in the 16th century conserving the profile of the original plan of that period and it is the current the Hotel Bor.
That stronghold before to return to under Austrian influence was for a brief period a property of the Counts of Celje, one of the oldest medieval aristocratic dynasties of the entire Slovenia who owned about 20 castles in the modern national territory.
Those nobles were also Ban of Croatia, Dalmatia, Slavonia, linked to the House of Frankopane, an influential family of high officers and great landowner magnates of the Kingdom of Hungary-Croatia.

The enchanting and charming beauty of that restored construction in a superb location on the shore of the lake surrounded by a wide green park shows a very pleasant conserved facade part of the former structure with some fine renaissance details such as refined stuccoes and stylish decorated wooden ceiling.
Inside were arranged a restaurant and a hall dedicated to banqueting and catering events as weddings and celebrations.Before to host that hospitality establishment that building was used for other activities, it was a convent later a sanatorium and also a place hosting local Institutions.
The history of Grad Hrib also linked to Poročni Drevored, the so called Wedding Avenue,a charming hallway flanked by American ash trees,famous for the narration of a love story between a gardener who worked in the manor and the daughter of the Count owner of that site.
At the beginning due to the social class difference between that noble young woman and the humble worker to keep in secret the relationship they had as meeting place in a hidden corner of that avenue behind a group of trees where the couple continued for a long time to have several meetings until the Countess mother discovered all.
Despite that, the aristocratic lady understood that it was was true, real love permitting them to continue their relationship which had a happy final with a marriage endured 50 years.

Today it is typical to celebrate weddings in the restaurant of Grad Hrib and to remember that old love story, the former manor and that avenue are protagonists wishing every married couple 50 years of happiness. As tradition the bride and groom have a walk along that special passageway linked to that iconic narration continuing to be something very rooted and popular also in the young generations.
Preddvor Grad lies in the centre of the town, the manor which gave the name to the municipality is today in disrepair, Historically was taken in 1608 by the Abbey of Stična to host old ill monks and later it was sold and bought by Arthur Wurzbach, a a physician of Austrian origin who gave the name of his family to that site and selling it later.
That place became a tourist establishment in 1920, afterwards in n 1936 the entire building was transformed in a sanatorium called Hotel Grintovec while during the 2nd World War it was converted in a German Police headquarter.
In 1945 it became a centre for orphaned children from Bosnia and two years later was as a juvenile correction centre. Today what you can see is a big ochre building in decay with large windows with a red brick sloping roof highlighted by four chimneys.

It was historically a residence for a period of the German Knights of Neuburg as it says its name, a branch of the Teutonic Knights and ,many of its members participated in several expeditions to the Holy Land escorting many pilgrims to Jerusalem.
That site was also a property of the Counts of Andechs who arranged the fortress as hunting lodge. In the following times it suffered several damages during the feudalist battles between the Counts of Celje and other local nobles, it was largely devastated by the Ottomans and a further sad episode is that it was totally destroyed by a earthquake in the early 16th century and today are visible just some renmants.
The local gastronomy is excellent with a wide variety of genuine plates and all homemade using local genuine products. That area of the Upper Carniola has an excellent production of honey and the emblematic Kraški Pršut, a gastronomic icon pride of the entire region and of the country.
