Žiče (pronounced as /sl/; de|Seitzdorf[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Slovenske Konjice in eastern Slovenia. It lies on the right bank of the Dravinja River near its confluence with Žičnica Creek, a minor right tributary that flows just south of the village. It is best known for the Žiče Charterhouse, a 12th-century monastery that is not actually in the settlement, but 6 km further up the valley of Žičnica Creek. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. The municipality is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.[3]
Žiče was attested in written sources in 1145 as Sietss (and as Siz in 1177, Seydes in 1184, and Seitz in 1185). The name is derived from the plural demonym *Zitъčane or *Žiťane, based on the hypocorism *Žitъko or *Žitъ, referring to an early inhabitant of the place.[4] In the past it was known as Seitzdorf in German.[2]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Peter and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It is a 14th-century church that was rebuilt in 1660.[5]
