Brezje pri Tržiču


Brezje pri Tržiču is a settlement in the Municipality of Tržič in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is located near the road from Tržič to Begunje. In 2018 it had a population of 359.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Sveta Neža to Brezje pri Tržiču 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.

Church

The local church is dedicated to Saint Agnes. The current church was built in 1967 based on plans by the architect Anton Bitenc.
