Prigorica (pronounced [pɾiɡɔˈɾiːtsa]; German: Büchelsdorf[2]) is a village immediately north of Dolenja Vas in the Municipality of Ribnica in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[3] It includes the hamlet of Videm about 800 meters (2,600 ft) east of the village center.
The local church is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul and belongs to the Parish of Dolenja Vas. It is an 18th-century church that was rebuilt in 1855 and thoroughly renovated between 2005 and 2008.[4]
