Tržišče (pronounced [təɾˈʒiːʃtʃɛ]; German: Terschische[2]) is a settlement along the road linking Mokronog and Sevnica in the Lower Carniola region in east-central Slovenia. It is part of the Municipality of Sevnica, which is included in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[3] St. George's Hill (Slovene: Šentjurjev hrib; 366 metres or 1,201 feet) lies to the northwest of the village. The rail line from Sevnica to Trebnje runs through the settlement and has a station there. The settlement includes the hamlets of Mostec and Sveta Trojica (German: Heiligendreifaltigkeit[2]).[4]

Churches[]

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to the Holy Trinity (Slovene: Sveta Trojica) and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It dates to the first quarter of the 16th century.[5] A second church in the southern part of the settlement is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and was originally a 13th-century building that was rebuilt around 1700.[6]
