Sveti Štefan (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈsʋeːti ˈʃteːfan/, German: St. Stefan[2] [3]) is a former settlement in the Municipality of Cerknica in central Slovenia. It is now part of the village of Lipsenj.[4] The area is part of the traditional region of Inner Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Littoral–Inner Carniola Statistical Region.[5]
Sveti Štefan lies in a valley east of the village center of Lipsenj. Štebrščica Creek (named Lipsenjščica Creek further downstream) has its source east of Sveti Štefan at Obrh Springs, a pair of gushing springs. Water flows from both of them during periods of heavy rain, and otherwise only from the lower spring.[4]
The name Sveti Štefan means 'Saint Stephen', and the village was named after the local church, which is dedicated to Saint Stephen.[4]
Sveti Štefan had a population of 21 living in four houses in 1880,[2] 16 living in five houses in 1890,[3] and 19 living in four houses in 1900.[6] Sveti Štefan was annexed by Lipsenj in 1952, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[7]
