Telče (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈteːu̯tʃɛ/; German: Teltsche[2]) is a settlement east of Tržišče in the Municipality of Sevnica in east-central Slovenia. The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[3]

The local church, built in an isolated location northwest of the settlement core, is dedicated to Saint James (Slovenian: sveti Jakob) and belongs to the Parish of Škocjan pri Novem Mestu. It dates to the 16th or 17th century.[4]
