Rašica is a village north of Velike Lašče in central Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Central Slovenia statistical region.[2]
It is best known as the birthplace of the Slovene Protestant reformer Primož Trubar. Trubar was born in the village in 1508. What remains on the site of the Trubar farm—a 200-year-old sawmill and a more recent barn—have been arranged into a small museum with a printing workshop and gallery.[3]
The local church is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew (Slovene: sveti Jernej). It was built in the early 17th century on the site of an older building. In 1765 it was remodelled in the Baroque style and in 1839 its facade was replaced.[4]
