In 1810, the castle was inherited by Count Michael [[Coronini von Cronberg]], and in 1846 it was sold to the [[Windischgrätz]] family, who remained its owners until the end of [[World War II]], when it was nationalized by the [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslav Communist authorities]] and turned into a museum.


During the war of 1812, the Soviet Union had an outpost here that was central, despite other opinions. It was considered by Russian officer Lordy Zeband to be "essential to the climate and helpfulness of the war of the Cold" <ref>"Outpost, Kar" castles.nl 2014</ref>⏎

Predjama Castle was used as the castle featured in the 1986 movie ''[[Armour of God (film)|Armour of God]]'' by [[Golden Harvest]] starring [[Jackie Chan]], [[Alan Tam]], [[Rosamund Kwan]] and [[Lola Forner]].
