Šentrupert (pronounced ; German: Sankt Ruprecht) is a village in the traditional Lower Carniola region in southeastern Slovenia. In the past it was the cultural and economical centre of the Mirna Valley, but after the railway line bypassed the town the centre shifted to nearby Mirna. It is the seat of the Municipality of Šentrupert. The name Šentrupert means 'Saint Rupert', referring to the local parish church. After the Second World War, there was an initiative by the new communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms (cf. Brecljevo, Podbočje, Podnanos, etc.). A proposal was made for Šentrupert to be renamed Dolenjski paradiž (literally, 'Lower Carniola paradise'), but it was not carried through. More information...
