Sveta Ana pri Ložu (pronounced [ˈsʋeːta ˈaːna pɾi ˈloːʒu]; Template:Lang-de[2]) is a village east of Podlož in the Municipality of Loška Dolina in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]

History

A prehistoric cemetery was discovered in Sveta Ana pri Ložu, testifying to its early settlement.[4] The oldest farm in the village is the Konte farm, dating from 1784.[5] Sveta Ana pri Ložu was part of Podlož until 2003, when it was separated from it and made a separate village.[5][6]

Church

Saint Anne's Church

The village church is dedicated to Saint Anne and was built in 1526 incorporating an older structure.[7] It has a rectangular nave, a bell-gable, and an octagonal chancel walled on three sides. The stone door casing bears the year 1672. The remains of a fresco from the early 15th century depicting Saint Christopher are found on the exterior north wall.[7] There are pilgrims' signatures written in Glagolitic below the church's exterior fresco, indicating that pilgrims to Cross Mountain (Template:Lang-sl) came from as far away as the Croatian coast. The priest at Cross Mountain in 1749, Mihael Rede, was a user of Glagolitic. Until the First World War, the bell-gable of Saint Anne's Church had a bell inscribed with the year 1532 and the text GOT HIELFE AUS JEGLICHER NOT 'God helps in every need.'[5]

Cultural heritage

There is a monument in the village commemorating Partisan soldiers killed in January 1945[8] or 1944.[4] The plaque was set up in 1950 and was reworked in 1985.[8]
