Breginj (pronounced [bɾɛˈɡiːn]; locally Brgin and Bәrgin,[2] Italian: Bergogna,[3] Friulian: Bergogne[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Kobarid in the Littoral region of Slovenia.

Breginj was first attested in written sources in 1170 as Vergia and Vergin (and in 1275 as Bergona).

Breginj was a comune of the County of Gorizia (as Bergogna), and during Italian rule (1918–1943, nominally lasting until 1947) it was assigned to the Province of Udine, but only until 1927, when it was assigned to the new Italian Province of Gorizia.

[4] Most of the village was demolished by the 1976 Friuli earthquake, with only the Church of Saint Nicholas and a couple of buildings remaining standing.

[5] Media reports at the time on the failure to preserve cultural heritage in the village were censored by Slovenia's communist government.
