Krška Vas, Brežice

Krška Vas (pronounced [ˈkəɾʃka ˈʋaːs]; Slovene: Krška vas, German: Munkendorf[2]) is a village on the left bank of the Krka River, at its confluence with the Sava, in the Municipality of Brežice in eastern Slovenia.

[3] On the right bank of the Sava River, north of the main settlement in a small field area known as Zasavje, a late medieval village called Zasavje (German: Sasauje)[4] was abandoned and never resettled after it was destroyed by severe flooding on January 25, 1781.

Field surveys and aerial photography in the Trnje area of Krška Vas indicate the presence of foundations of buildings from the Roman era.

[5] The village church is dedicated to Saints Hermagoras and Fortunatus and belongs to the parish of Cerklje ob Krki.

The single nave has flat roof and a multi-angular star vaulted sanctuary.
