Turje (pronounced [ˈtuːɾjɛ]) is a settlement in the hills southeast of Dol in the Municipality of Hrastnik in central Slovenia.
It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region.
[2] The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Štefan (literally, 'Saint Stephen') to Turje 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.
