The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[2]
Church
The parish church, from which the town also gets its name, is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew (Template:Langx) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It is a Baroque building with remains of two earlier churches, one Romanesque from the 12th century and the other a 15th-century Gothic one, preserved in the floor of the current building. Two 18th-century side altars were brought to the church from the Cistercian monastery at Kostanjevica.[3]
