Nova Lovcha (Bulgarian: Нова Ловча) is a village in Hadzhidimovo Municipality, in Blagoevgrad Province, Bulgaria.

1–2 km east of the village there is a small artificial lake, which is also fed by rain and used for economic activities.

In the area around the village there are remains of ancient settlements, as well as an old Roman road connecting Nicopolis ad Nestum with Thessaloniki and the Aegean region.

[3] In the 'Ethnography of the Provinces of Adrianople, Monastir and Thessaloniki , published in Istanbul in 1878 and reflecting the statistics of the male population from 1873, Loftcha is listed as a village with 125 households and 450 Muslims, 900 Bulgarians and 40 Vlachs.

[4] In 1889, Stefan Verkovic (Topographic and Ethnographic Essay of Macedonia) noted Lovcha as a village with 125 Bulgarian houses.

It was built on a plain terrain ìn the Ali Botush (Slavyanka) mountain; the soil is dry and contains many iron impurities, which give it a red color.

After the changes that took place from 1926 to 1927 (the Mollov - Kafandaris agreement) some of the inhabitants of Lovcha emigrated 1-2 kilometers inland within Bulgaria and founded the new village, and some settled in Nevrokop and Pleven.

[10] However, the village was later deserted and today only the church of St. Archangel Michael is preserved, the rest is in ruins.
