Name
Predoslje was attested in written sources in 1304 as Prerazel (and as Prerazzel in 1308, Prerassel in 1437, and Predoſlau in 1689, among other names). The name may originate from the form *Prěrosľane 'people living by a natural bridge or passage' (< *prěrǫslo 'passage'), referring to a natural geographical feature, or from the hypocorism *Prědoslъ, referring to an early inhabitant of the place.[4]

The altar painting is by Ivan Franke (1841–1927), the painting of the Virgin Mary is by Janez Wolf (1825–1884), and the wall paintings are by Matija Bradaška (1852–1915).[3]
