Name
History
Seč was a village inhabited by Gottschee Germans. It was founded relatively late because it was not listed in the Gottschee land registry of 1574 or in the 1770 census.[3] In 1931 it had seven houses and a population of 33.[9][10] Before the Second World War the economy of the village was based on farming and selling wood, and the villagers also owned some vineyards.[10] The residents were evicted in 1941 and the village was burned by Italian troops in 1942.[9]
