Zilje (German: Sile)[2] is a settlement above the left bank of the Kolpa River in the Municipality of Črnomelj in the White Carniola area of southeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia statistical region.[3]

The local church is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua and belongs to the Parish of Preloka. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1526, but owes its current Baroque look to a remodelling in the 18th century. In 1888 it also underwent a major rebuilding. The main altar dates to the late 19th century.[4]
