Jarčje Brdo (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈjaːɾtʃjɛ ˈbəɾdɔ/; in older sources also Jarče Brdo,[2] German: Jartschinberdo[2]) is a dispersed settlement in the hills between the Selca Sora and the Poljane Sora valleys in the Municipality of Gorenja Vas–Poljane in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
Jarčje Brdo was attested in historical sources as Jartschemwerdi in 1500.[4] The dialect adjective jarčji means 'sheep',[5] and so the name Jarčje Brdo literally means 'sheep hill'.
The local church is dedicated to Saint Valentine. It was built between 1854 and 1857 on the site of an earlier church and has a triple nave. The belfry from the earlier church, dating to 1728, is preserved.[6]
