Preddvor is a town in Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Preddvor.[2]
Name
The settlement was first attested in written sources in 1147 as Niwenhouen (literally, 'new castle') and as Neunhouen in 1238 and Vorm hoff (literally, 'in front of the castle') in 1488. The Slovene name Preddvor is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost its case inflection, from pred 'in front of' + dvor 'castle'.[3]
