Sveti Trije Kralji (pronounced [ˈsʋeːti ˈtɾiːjɛ ˈkɾaːlji]) is a dispersed settlement in the hills northwest of Radlje ob Dravi in Slovenia, right on the border with Austria.
[2] The settlement gets its name from the local church, dedicated to the Magi (Slovene: Sveti Trije Kralji).
[3] The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Trije Kralji to Brezovec (literally, 'place with birch trees') in 1955.
The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.
