Šentvid pri Stični (in Slovenian pronounced as /ʃɛnˈtʋit pɾi ˈstiːtʃni/ or in Slovenian pronounced as /ʃənˈtʋit-/; German: Sankt Veit[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Ivančna Gorica in central Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[3] In addition to the sections of the main settlement known as Stari Trg (Slovenian: Stari trg) and Zadolžna Vas (Slovenian: Zadolžna vas), it includes the hamlets of Travnik, Sveti Rok (German: Sankt Rochus[2]), Omotce, Postaja Šentvid, and Marof.[4]
The parish church from which the settlement gets its name is dedicated to Saint Vitus (Slovenian: sveti Vid) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ljubljana. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1136.[5] A second church on a hill just south of the settlement is dedicated to Saint Roch and dates to the 17th century.[6]
