Kodeljevo is a 17th-century settlement located on the outskirts of Ljubljana with a castle and a number of late Renaissance features. In the 18th century a small chapel was built onto Kodeljevo Castle and decorated with frescoes by Baroque painter Fran Jelovšek.

Since completion of the restoration of the castle in 2004 a cultural programme has been presented here by the Contemporary Culture and Science Institute (ZSKZ Ljubljana). It is programmed by Artreflect, a project for young enthusiasts from the fields of Visual Arts and the Social Sciences managed by ZSKZ whose general aim is to promote alternative, progressive ways of expressing and reflecting social reality. In 2005 the Break Festival presented an exhibition of 16 installations in the castle gallery, and in 2007 the Šerpa Literary Art Association and the Sploh Institute. co-presented a series of interdisciplinary events called Con-fine aperto.
