Pri Cerkvi–Struge (pronounced as /sl/; sl|Pri Cerkvi - Struge, in older sources also Pricerkev and Pri cerkvi[2] [3]) is a village in the Municipality of Dobrepolje in Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.[4]
Pri Cerkvi–Struge is a compound name; pri cerkvi means 'at the church' and refers to the parish church. Struge (de|Strug[2]) is a regional designation referring to the entire southern part of the Dobrepolje karst polje, also including the villages of Četež pri Strugah, Kolenča Vas, Lipa, Podtabor, Potiskavec, Rapljevo, Tisovec, and Tržič.[3] The name Struge literally means 'river channels' (from the Slovene common noun struga) and is a relatively frequent element in place names.[5]
The local parish church is dedicated to Saint Augustine and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ljubljana. It is a medieval church that was extensively rebuilt in the mid-19th century.[6]
During the Second World War, a number of civilians from Pri Cerkvi–Struge were murdered on 28 July 1942 and buried in the Žiglovica Cave Mass Grave (sl|Grobišče Jama Žiglovica) in Ribnica.[7]
