V 15. stoletju je slovenske dežele zadela velika nesreca,
ki je bila za vec kot sto let res prava šiba božja. To
so bili vpadi turških roparskih vojska, ki so prizadeli
predvsem kmecko prebivalstvo, ki je bilo na milost in nemilost
prepušceno napadalcem. Turki so plenili, pobijali in
odganjali v sužnost;Da bi se kmetje zašcitili, so
zaceli postavljati protiturške tabore. Eden takšnih
je nastal na konglomeratni skali okoli male cerkvice v Podbrezjah.
Kdaj tocno je bil taborski kompleks zgrajen ni znano, najverjetneje
pa je bilo to okoli leta 1470. Srednjeveško obzidje Tabora
je sledilo skalnemu robu. Na S in Z je bil suh jarek. Vhod je bil
speljan cez dvižni most. Na mestu današnje kapelice je
stal obrambni stolp, ki je dodatno varoval vhod. Obzidje, ki
je le še delno ohranjeno, je bilo dvovišinsko, z
obrambnim hodnikom in streho. V notranjosti obzidja so bile
kašce za spravilo dragocenosti in živeža. Turki so
se v Podbrezjah verjetno oglasili prvic leta 1475, ko so mesec dni
plenili na Gorenjskem, nato pa še vsaj dvakrat, oktobra 1476
na pohodu na Koroško in maja 1477. Turške vpade
so naznanjali kresovi na Šmarni gori, Šmarjetni gori,
sv. Petru nad Begunjami in Jamniku.

‘Tabors’ (fortified refuges used during Turkish
raids) were built in Gorenjska from 1470 onwards, until the first
decades of the 16th century. Most were built around churches. Upper
Carniola was not as exposed to Turkish incursions as other parts of
Slovenia, although more than thirty tabors have been located (ruins
or partially conserved).
The Podbrezje tabor was built after 1470. The Turks visited
during their expeditions across Upper Carniola and on into
Carinthia. They besieged it most heavily in the years 1476 and
1477, which is when people suffered the worst atrocities.
The creation of the tabor was without a doubt conditioned by the
favourable natural position on an elevation in the middle of a
plain, affording a view in all directions. The Podbrezje tabor is
among the smaller tabors. The walls surrounding the church are
irregularly-shaped walls on two levels with a roofed parapet walk
and a defence tower. The walls are pierced by loopholes. The
defence tower defended the entrance into the tabor. On the western
side the tabor was fortified by a moat and dyke. Entrance to the
tabor was over a drawbridge. This was also where they stored
valuables, food and live stock.
