Ajman Castle, Renaissance castle in Sv. Duh, Slovenia.

The castle features German Renaissance architecture with a prominent chapel containing an altar painted by Franc Jelovšek during the 18th century.

Constructed in 1679 by Franc Matija Lampfrizhaimb, the governor of Škofja Loka lordship, the castle received its current name from an owner named Heimann.

The castle chapel contains an altar mural depicting the Virgin accompanied by Saint John Nepomuk and Saint Francis Xavier, commissioned between 1739 and 1746.

Visitors can contact the castle management at +386 4 515 16 29 to arrange tours and learn about the spiritual programs conducted by Ursuline sisters.

Following severe fire damage in 1944, the castle underwent renovation and transformed into an Ursuline monastery known as House of Bread.
