Zdenska Vas (Slovene: Zdenska vas, German: Sdenskawas[2]) is a village north of Videm in the Municipality of Dobrepolje in Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia statistical region.[3]
History
Zdenska Vas was first mentioned in written sources in 1256, when the Count of Ortenburg sold the village to the monastery at Stična. During the Second World War, Italian and White Guard forces had a military post at Saint Anthony's Church; this post was used by German and Home Guard troops later in the war. The post was attacked by the Partisans on 29 February and 1 March 1944, during which many houses and outbuildings in the village were destroyed.[4]
Church
The local church, built on the hillside north of the village, is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua and belongs to the Parish of Dobrepolje–Videm.[5] The church was established in the second half of the 17th century. In the mid-19th century it was painted with frescoes by Štefan Šubic (1820–1884).[4]
