Selce (pronounced [ˈseːu̯tsɛ], German: Selze[1]) is a former village in central Slovenia in the Municipality of Zagorje ob Savi. It is now part of the village of Tirna.[2] It is part of the traditional region of Upper Carniola and is now included in the Central Sava Statistical Region.
Selce stands on a hill east of Tirna above the Mošenik Gorge (Slovene: Mošenjska grapa).[2] It is connected to Tirna by a road through the hamlet of Brezovica.
The name Selce is a plural diminutive of the common noun selo 'settlement, village'. It is related to toponyms such as Selo, Sela, and Selca.[3]
Selce had a population of 34 (in five houses) in 1890[4] and 26 (in six houses) in 1900.[5] Selce was annexed by Tirna in 1953, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[6][7]
