Repnje (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈɾeːpnjɛ/; German: Repne[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Vodice in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
In the centre of the village is Repnje Castle, built in the late 19th century. It now houses a Franciscan convent with an adjacent church.[4]
The main church of the settlement is built on a hill above the village. It is dedicated to Saint Giles and a portion of its defense wall, built against Ottoman raids, still survives today.[5]
