Podpeč pod Skalo is a small settlement to the northwest of Gabrovka in the Litija municipality in central Slovenia. Traditionally the area was part of Lower Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality into the Central Slovenia statistical region.[2]

The local church is dedicated to Saint Paul and belongs to the Gabrovka parish. It was built in the late 14th century as the chapel of the now ruined Gallenstein castle. The castle was destroyed during Ottoman raids in the 16th century. The intreior of the church was painted three times, at around 1420, in the late 15th century and again in 1539.[3]
