Gaberje (pronounced [ˈɡaːbɛɾjɛ]) is a village in the hills south of the Vipava Valley in the Municipality of Ajdovščina in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1367.[2]

Name

[edit]

The name of the settlement was changed from Gabrje to Gaberje in 1987.[1][3]

Church

[edit]

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Martin and belongs to the Koper Diocese.[4] Its door casing bears the date 1670, which is the date of extension and renovation of a much older church on the site.

Cultural heritage

[edit]
Bridge over the Branica River

Below the village, there is a stone bridge across the Branica River dating from around 1800. The bridge is built of unworked stone and has a semicircular arch.[5] It is part of a road connection from the Branica Valley to Štanjel.
