Adergas monastery, Dominican monastery in Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Slovenia
The monastery complex includes a Baroque church designed by Candido Zulliani and residential buildings arranged around a central courtyard and garden space.
Founded in 1238 by the Patriarchate of Aquileia, the monastery experienced substantial damage during an Ottoman invasion in 1471, leading to its reconstruction.
The monastery houses the Velesovo Madonna, a painted wooden Romanesque sculpture from 1220 that represents the oldest Medieval statue in Slovenia.
The monastery now functions as a multi-purpose facility, containing local school facilities, parish offices, and residential units accessible through guided visits.
The eastern wing of the monastery, designed by architect Gregor Maček Jr in the first half of the 18th century, remains a principal example of monastic architecture.
