Church

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]

History

During the Second World War, a number of civilians from Prigorica were abducted and murdered by the Partisans on July 28, 1942 and buried in the Žiglovica Cave Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče Jama Žiglovica) in Ribnica.[5] The bodies were recovered from the cave in 2016 and were buried in June 2017 at the cemetery in the hamlet of Videm.[6][7] In October 2017, victims from the Konfin Shaft 1 Mass Grave and Konfin Shaft 2 Mass Grave were also buried at the cemetery.[8]

gollark: Ugh, I just realised that Discord appears to have made the search mildly worse in the recent UI update.
gollark: Apparently, yes.
gollark: Nuclear waste is probably a problem, but less than climate change and the giant piles of spent lithium-ion batteries which would probably result from using batteries/solar.
gollark: Definitely nuclear power. It runs constantly unlike solar and whatnot, doesn't produce CO2, and uses fuel which we have enough of for a while and could use much more efficiently if there was much of an incentive to.
gollark: I'm also hoping some sort of comparatively cheap geoengineering-type solution is developed for climate problems, because otherwise we have basically no chance of hitting the not-heating-the-world-up-a-lot targets, unless the world ends up with a totalitarian ecodictatorship or something.
