Sveti Duh, Bohinj

Sveti Duh (pronounced [ˈsʋeːti ˈduːx], German: Heiligengeist[2][3]) is a former village in the Municipality of Bohinj.

[4] The name Sveti Duh means 'Holy Spirit' and refers to the church on the lakeshore below the settlement.

Sveti Duh had a permanent population of four (in one house) in 1900,[3] and it was primarily a summer vacation settlement in the first half of the 20th century.

[1] Sveti Duh was deemed annexed by Ribčev Laz in 1953, ending any existence it had as a separate settlement.

A church was first mentioned at the site in historical sources in the 15th century, and the current structure was built in 1743–1744.
