Čabrače (pronounced [ˈtʃaːbɾatʃɛ]) is a small dispersed settlement in the Municipality of Gorenja Vas–Poljane in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]

Name

Čabrače was attested in historical sources as Schabratssch in 1291, Schabratsch in 1420, and Tschbratzi in 1500.[3] The name comes from the plural demonym *Ča(je)braťane based on the personal name *Ča(je)bratъ, thus meaning 'residents of Ča(je)bratъ's village'.[4]

Church

Saint Gertrude's Church

The local church is dedicated to Saint Gertrude (Slovene: sveta Jedrt). An older Gothic structure was remodeled in the early 18th century, when the belfry was also added.[5]
