Geography

Gotna Vas is a partially clustered settlement on a fertile plain southeast of the town center of Novo Mesto. It lies in the Gotna Vas Basin (Slovene : Gotensko polje) above Heavy Creek (Slovene : Težka voda), a tributary of the Krka River. [1] [2] It includes the hamlets of Cirkulane, Trnče, Jamovci, Banija, Brezje, and Ukrat. [2]

Name

Gotna Vas was attested in historical sources as Goͤznitz in 1357, Gottendorff in 1436, and Götzndorff in 1477. [4] The name of the village is believed to derive from the Slavic personal name *Gotъ, referring to an early inhabitant of the place. Other Slovenian toponyms presumably based on this name are Goče , Gotenica , Gotovlje , and Gotenc . [5]

History

Gotna Vas had a population of 249 in 46 houses in 1880, [6] 229 in 50 houses in 1900, [3] and 229 in 55 houses in 1931. [1] Gotna Vas was annexed by the city of Novo Mesto in 1979, ending its existence as an independent settlement. [7] [8]

Church

The church in Gotna Vas is dedicated to Saint Leonard of Noblac. It was formerly surrounded by a cemetery. [1] [2] It is a simple structure with an octagonal chancel extending from an older nave and walled on five sides. The exterior west wall has remnants of a painting from the 17th century. The main altar was also created in the 17th century, and the two side altars date from 1899. [2]
