Podbrezje (pronounced [pɔdˈbɾeːzjɛ]; German: Birkendorf[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Naklo in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

The Baroque altars and sculptures in the church date from the late 18th century and were created by Peter Žiwobski (1752–?).

[5] The picturesque fortified Tabor Church, in the hamlet of Podtabor on a rock above the motorway from Ljubljana to the Karawanks Tunnel, is a well-known landmark on the route.

The building of the walls around the church was conditioned by the favourable natural position on an elevation in the middle of a plain, affording a view in all directions.

The walls surrounding the church are irregularly shaped and were built on two levels with a roofed walkway, balistraria, and defense tower.
