Mrzlava vas is a village in the hills above the right bank of the river Krka, in the Brežice Municipality in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Spodnjeposavska statistical region.[2]
The village church, built on an isolated location to the south of the main settlement, is dedicated to the Holy Spirit and belongs to the Čatež ob Savi parish. It was originally a medieval building, but was extensively rebuilt in 1864 when the belfry was also added.[3]
Between 1920 and 1960 and in 1986 a number urn burials dating to the 1st and 2nd centuries were found and excavated in the area. Two Roman coins dating from the rule of Galba and Trajan were also found.[4]
