Sestranska Vas (pronounced as /sl/, sl|Sestranska vas, de|Sestranskawas[2]) is a former village in northwestern Slovenia in the Municipality of Gorenja Vas–Poljane. It is now part of the town of Gorenja Vas.[3] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included in the Upper Carniola Statistical Region.
Sestranska Vas lies on the right bank of the Poljane Sora River,[3] between the former village of Trata to the southwest and the old center of Gorenja Vas to the northeast.[1]
Sestranska Vas was attested in Latin in 1291 as in Polan ex altera parte aque 'on the other side of the water in [the Parish of] Poljane',[4] and in German in the 18th century as Schwesterdorf (literally, 'sister village').[5] [6] The name Sestranska Vas is related to the frequent Slovenian toponym Stranska vas (literally, 'side village'), and it either refers to a place of secondary importance in comparison to a nearby larger and older settlement[4] or indicates its location on the (other) side of the river.[7]
Sestranska Vas was annexed by the town of Gorenja Vas in 1953, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[8]
