Velika Vas pri Krškem (pronounced [ˈʋeːlika ˈʋaːs pɾi ˈkəɾʃkɛm]; Slovene: Velika vas pri Krškem, German: Großdorf[2]) is a village southwest of Leskovec in the Municipality of Krško in eastern Slovenia. It lies just north of the motorway from LjubljanatoZagreb. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.[3]
The name of the settlement was changed from Velika vastoVelika vas pri Krškem in 1971.[4] In the past the German name was Großdorf.[2]
The local church is dedicated to Saint Martin and belongs to the ParishofLeskovec pri Krškem. It is a medieval building that was greatly rebuilt in the 19th century.[5]
Prehistoric and Roman graves have been found in the settlement. Remains of Roman buildings, a villa rustica, a milliarium from the time of Marcus Aurelius, imbrices and tegulae, tesserae, and hundreds of burials point to the proximity of the Roman town of Neviodunum.[6]
