History

Purga was founded on land formerly belonging to Pobrežje Castle in the second half of the 19th century. During the Second World War, Italian forces burned one house in the settlement. An additional three buildings were burned on 22 March 1945 during a German and Ustaša attack on Pobrežje and Adlešiči. Twelve Partisan soldiers were killed in Purga the same day.[3]
