Dobrna (Script error: No such module "IPA"., Template:Langx[1]) is a settlement in Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Dobrna. It is best known for its spa. It lies north of Celje and east of Velenje in an area that is part of the traditional region of Styria. The municipality is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.[2]

Name

The name Dobrna is probably derived from the Slavic nickname *Dobrъ, referring to an early inhabitant of the place, therefore originally meaning 'Dobrъ's village'. Another possibility is derivation from the common noun *dǫbrъ 'deciduous or oak forest', in turn derived from *dǫbъ 'deciduous tree, oak', referring to the local vegetation.[3]

Church

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary (Template:Langx) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje. It dates to the 16th century with 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century phases of rebuilding.[4]

Spa

Dobrna is also the site of Terme Dobrna, a spa tracing its history back to 1612. In 1810 and 1811 it was visited by Louis Bonaparte.[5]
