Bušeča Vas (pronounced [buˈʃeːtʃa ˈvaːs]; Slovene: Bušeča vas, German: Puschendorf[2]) is a village on the right bank of the Krka River in the Municipality of Brežice in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[3]

The local church is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows and belongs to the Parish of Sveti Križ–Podbočje. It is a Gothic church that contains mid-15th century frescos. The nave was reconstructed and repainted in the 17th century. The belfry dates to 1601.[4]
