What is "polsnik"

Polšnik is a settlement in the Municipality of Litija in central Slovenia. Traditionally the area was part of Lower Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region. Together with the two parts of the main settlement (Zgornji Polšnik 'Upper Polšnik', and Spodnji Polšnik 'Lower Polšnik', ) it also includes the hamlets of Na Puši, Seruč, Koprivnik, Slop, Glinjek, Velika Njiva , and Sušje.

The local parish church is dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ljubljana. It was designed by Franc Avsec and built in 1904 with an octagonal nave. A second church, built on Glinjek Hill (828 m) south of the main settlement, belongs to the same parish. It is dedicated to Saint George and originally dates to the 13th century. It was restyled in the 19th century, but retains some of its original features.
