Rigonce (pronounced [ˈɾiːɡɔntsɛ]) is a settlement on the right bank of the Sotla River in the Municipality of Brežice in eastern Slovenia, right on the border with Croatia. The area was traditionally part of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[2]

A small chapel-shrine with a belfry, northwest of the main settlement by the tracks of the main railway linefrom Ljubljana to Zagreb, which runs through the settlement, is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows and was built in the early 20th century.[3]
