Trnovo (pronounced [təɾˈnoːʋɔ]; German: Dornegg[1]) is a formerly independent settlement in the town of Ilirska Bistrica in southwestern Slovenia.[2][3] It is part of the traditional region of Inner Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Littoral–Inner Carniola Statistical Region.[4]
Name
Trnovo was attested in historical sources as Dorneçasio in 1288, Dornech in 1316, and Dornich in 1323, among other spellings. The place name Trnovo (and related names such as Trnovec, Trnovče, Trnovci, and Trnovska vas) is common in Slovenia. The name is derived from the common noun trn 'thorn', referring to a place where thorny brush grows.[5]
History
Church
The church in Trnovo is dedicated to Saint Peter. It was originally a medieval structure that has been remodeled several times, with the chancel in the Gothic style. The church has external buttresses, a rectangular nave, and a bell tower next to the north wall. The interior was rearranged and painted by Tone Kralj in 1960–61. The church is located on a hill with a cemetery south of Trnovo.[7]
