It is the seat of the City Municipality of Krško. The town lies on the Sava River and on the northwest edge of the Krško Plain (Template:Langx), which is part of the larger Krka Flat (Template:Langx). The area is divided between the traditional regions of Styria (territory on the left bank of the Sava) and Lower Carniola (territory on the right bank of the Sava). The entire municipality is now included in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[3]
Slovenia's only nuclear power plant, the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, lies southeast of the town.[4]
Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Krško to Videm–Krško in 1953. The name Krško was restored in 1964.[5][6][7][8] In the past the German name was Gurkfeld.[2]
History
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Archaeological evidence shows that the area was settled in prehistoric times. Along the Sava River, numerous Bronze and Iron Age sites as well as Roman finds show continuous occupation. After the Medieval period the area was a Habsburg possession. It was affected by Ottoman raids from the 15th to 17th centuries.
Mass grave
Krško is the site of a mass grave associated with the Second World War. The Bunker Mass Grave (Template:Langx) is located on the steep right bank of the Sava River, opposite the municipal headquarters, Script error: No such module "convert". north of the house at Bohoričeva 4, and Script error: No such module "convert". south of a school playground. According to statements from the Krško police, it is believed that more than 100 civilians, mostly Croatians, were murdered in an abandoned bunker and the bunker was then dynamited. The location has been precisely defined, and investigation of the site is needed.[9][10][11]
Main sights
The Krško parish church in the town centre is dedicated to John the Evangelist and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. Originally a late 15th-century building, it was largely rebuilt in 1899.[12] A second parish is the Parish of Videm-Krško in the southern part of the town. Its parish church is dedicated to Saint Rupert. It was built from 1893 to 1897 in the Neo-Romanesque style. The church in the hamlet of Stara Vas (Template:Langx),[13] dedicated to Saint Michael, belongs to this parish. It was built in 1768 to replace an older structure.[14] The church on the right bank of the Sava is dedicated to the Holy Spirit and was built in 1777 according to plans by the Austrian architect Johann Nepomuk Fuchs.[15]
The Capuchin monastery with its church is in the centre of town on the right bank of the Sava. It was built from 1640 to 1644 and was altered at various stages in its history.[16]
