Adergas is a village in the Cerklje na Gorenjskem municipality in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

The Velesovo Monastery, a Dominican convent was developed around the local church, dedicated to The Annunciation. It was founded by the Patriarchate of Aquileia in 1238, but was badly damaged in 1471 during an Ottoman raid. The current building, what was the eastern wing of the original monastery, dates to the mid 18th century and houses the local school, the parish offices and a number of flats.[2]
