Stražišče (pronounced [stɾaˈʒiːʃtʃɛ]; German: Straschische[2]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Kranj in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

The cave was described in 1689 by Johann Weikhard von Valvasor and has natural populations of the amphipod crustacean Niphargus ilidzensis slovenicus and the ground beetle Anophthalmus micklitzi .

[7][8][9] The chapel of ease in Stražišče dedicated to Saint Bartholomew (Slovene: sveti Jernej) was first mentioned in a visitation record in 1631.

The original parish church stood next to the Sava River near the current railroad station, along the old Roman road, and was built during an epidemic.

[11] The church features a Gothic Pietà and Baroque furnishings by Valentin Metzinger, Leopold Layer, Jožef Egartner, Matevž Langus, and Michael Stroy.
