Late Antique fortified settlement of Gradec near Prapretnem (archaeological site)
Archival sources mention Gradec (Graz) as early as 1227. At that time, Duke Leopold VI donated a large estate to the monastery in Jurklošter and, in delineating the boundary, referenced the peaks of Lisca and Rude-nik, followed by a hill known locally as Graz. This record suggests that the settlement had already been abandoned by the 13th century, yet knowledge of it persisted, as the name Gradec in folk tradition typically denotes former Roman settlements.
