Bodešče (pronounced as /sl/) is a village on the left bank of the Sava Bohinjka River in the Municipality of Bled in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
Bodešče was attested in written sources as Podesich in 1185, Fodesich in 1253, Vodaschize in 1287, and Bodoschichk in 1368, among other spellings.[2]
The village church is dedicated to Saint Leonard and was allegedly built on the site of an ancient fort. The church has a covered porch, a square nave, and a narrow Gothic star-vaulted presbytery, dating to the mid-15th century. The church tower has an onion-shaped Baroque wooden crown.[3]
