Bukovska Vas (pronounced [buˈkoːu̯ska ˈʋaːs]; Slovene: Bukovska vas, German: Buchdorf [2] [3]) is a settlement on the left bank of the Mislinja River in the Municipality of Dravograd in the Carinthia region in northern Slovenia. [4] It includes the hamlet of Sveta Jedrt (or Sveta Jedert). [5]
Bukovska Vas was first mentioned in written sources in 1168 as Půchdorf. [5] [6] [7] [8] The name is interpreted locally as referring to former forests of beech trees ( Slovene: bukev) or to large farms where unschooled writers lived ( Slovene: bukovniki). [5]
In the 12th century, Bukovska Vas was a possession of St. Paul's Abbey in the Lavant Valley. [9] In the 16th century, the settlement belonged to Püchenstein Castle ( Slovene: Puhštanj, Puhenštanj, Pukštanj) and it had 15 farms and a mill along the Mislinja River. [6]
Bukovska Vas is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The House No. 35 Mass Grave ( Slovene: Grobišče pri hiši 35) is located in the woods south of the village. It contains the remains of a number of Croatians murdered in the second half of May 1945. [10] [11]
The church in Bukovska Vas is dedicated to Saint Gertrude ( Slovene: sveta Jedrt). It was first mentioned in written sources in 1278. It is furnished in the Baroque style and has a late Romanesque rectangular rib-vaulted chancel. A Gothic sculpture of Saint Gertrude dates to circa 1440, and a sculpture of the Lamb of God in a side niche to circa 1300. [5]
