Britof (pronounced [ˈbɾiːtɔf]; in older sources also Britof pri Taboru,[2] German: Freithof bei Tabor[2]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Naklo in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
This was borrowed from Middle High German vrîthof, also meaning 'cultivated fenced area'.
[2] Britof was annexed by the village of Podbrezje in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.
[5] The church in Britof is dedicated to Saint James (Slovene: sveti Jakob) and is the seat of the Parish of Podbrezje.
The church was originally a chapel of ease belonging to the proto-parish of Kranj, but was separated as a vicariate before 1502 and then elevated to a parish in 1650.
