Transcription

Name

Breznica pri Žireh was attested in written sources as Brieznitz in 1291, Nabresnitzi in 1453, and Wresnitzi in 1500.[4] The name of the settlement was changed from Breznica to Breznica pri Žireh in 1955.[5] The name is derived from the common noun breza 'birch'. Like similar toponyms in Slovenia (e.g., Brezova, Brezovec, Brezovci), it originally referred to the local vegetation.[6]

Church

Saint Cantius's Church

The small church in the centre of the settlement is a late 15th- to early 16th-century building. It is dedicated to Saint Cantius and belongs to the Parish of Žiri.[7]
