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

Ajman Castle (Slovene: Ajmanov grad, German: Schloss Ehrenau) is a late-Renaissance manor near Sveti Duh in the Municipality of Škofja Loka. Built in 1679 by Franc Matija Lampfrizhaimb, governor of the Škofja Loka lordship, it includes a manorial chapel of the Holy Virgin added in 1733, whose altar wall holds a mural by Franc Jelovšek. Since renovation after a 1944 Partisan fire, it has housed an Ursuline monastery.

The castle was built in 1679 by the governor of the Škofja Loka region as a residence showing German Renaissance design. Severe fire damage in 1944 prompted restoration work, after which the building was converted to serve a monastic community.

The manorial chapel of the Holy Virgin, added in 1733, holds an altar-wall mural by Franc Jelovšek, one of the leading Slovene painters of the 18th century. Kristof Laurenz von Flachenfeld commissioned it between 1739 and 1746; it shows the Virgin between St. John Nepomuk and St. Francis Xavier.

The castle is privately maintained by a religious community and visits require advance arrangement rather than walk-in access. Contact ahead to confirm availability and to better understand what parts of the building are open to visitors.

The name Ajman is a corruption of Heimann, the surname of an owner in the late 18th century; the manor had been called Ehrenau since its construction in 1679. The manorial chapel of the Holy Virgin, added in 1733, holds an altar-wall mural by Franc Jelovšek, commissioned between 1739 and 1746 by Kristof Laurenz von Flachenfeld and showing the Virgin between St. John Nepomuk and St. Francis Xavier.
