Primskovo (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈpɾiːmskɔʋɔ/; German: Primskau[2] or Primskou[3]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is now part of the city of Kranj.[4] Primskovo lies above the left bank of the Kokra River, connected to the center of Kranj by a bridge 28 m above the gorge of the river, offering an impressive view. The houses in Primskovo mingle with those of neighboring Klanec, also a former independent settlement.[1]
The name Primskovo is probably derives from an adjective form of the Slavic common noun *prijьmьskъ 'son-in-law that settles on the bride's farm', shortened from a longer name such as Prijьmьskovo selo/polje (literally, 'son-in-law's village/field'). It may also be derived from the (unconfirmed) nickname *Primъ, meaning 'Primъ's (village/field)'.[5] In the past the German name was Primskau[2] or Primskou.[3]
The remains of a stronghold built for protection against Ottoman attacks are visible in Primskovo.[4] A primary school with four grades was established in the village in 1890.[1] Primskovo was annexed by the city of Kranj in 1957, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[6] [7] [8]
The parish church in Primskovo is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. It was first mentioned in written sources in 1631 in a visitation inventory. The current structure was built in 1729 as a chapel of ease of the Parish of Preddvor. The church was the seat of a chapelry from 1793 to 1814.[1] It was elevated to the Parish of Kranj-Primskovo on 7 June 1965.[9]
