Planina nad Horjulom (pronounced [plaˈnìːna nat xɔˈɾjúːlɔm]) is a dispersed settlement northwest of Horjul in the Municipality of Dobrova–Polhov Gradec in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. [2] It includes the hamlets of Kolobocija, Lom, Pustota, and Zameja, as well as part of the hamlet of Suhi Dol. [3]
The name of the settlement was changed from Planina to Planina nad Horjulom in 1953. [4] The name Planina nad Horjulom literally means 'Planina above Horjul'. The name Planina is shared with several other settlements in Slovenia and means ' alpine pasture'. [5]
The local church is dedicated to Saint Andrew. [6] It was first mentioned in written sources in 1526 and the current structure was built around 1659. The area for the congregation is divided by piers into a wide central nave flanked by narrower areas on the north and south. The part on the north has been converted into a chapel. The chancel is arched with a richly crested stellar vault. The main altar, which dates to 1850, and both side altars are the work of Jurij Tavčar, a sculptor from Idrija. He also used older Baroque sculptures in creating them. The altar dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows dates to 1717. [3]
