Brezje pri Dobrovi

Brezje pri Dobrovi (pronounced [ˈbɾeːzjɛ pɾi ˈdoːbɾɔʋi]) is an elongated village in the Municipality of Dobrova–Polhov Gradec in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia[2] on the road from Dobrova to Horjul.

It lies on the somewhat elevated north side of the marshy valley of Horjulka Creek and it also includes the hamlet of Poljšno Brdo to the east of the main settlement.

[3] Brezje pri Dobrovi was attested in written sources as Bresa in 1453, Bresye in 1490, Brassa in 1494, and Bresyach in 1496, among other spellings.

Three sisters from the Skopec family of Stranska Vas, from the Glinar farm, were murdered and buried here by the Partisans on 28 April 1942 after the leadership of the Dolomite Detachment accused them of betrayal.

[8][9][10] The church in Brezje pri Dobrovi was originally subordinate to the proto-parish of Šentvid nad Ljubljano.
