Sela pri Šumberku (pronounced [ˈseːla pɾi ˈʃuːmbɛɾku]) is a village in the Municipality of Trebnje in eastern Slovenia. The area is part of the historical Lower Carniola region. The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[2]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to John the Baptist and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1526, but the current building dates to the mid-19th century.[3]
The ruins of Šumberk Castle (German: Schönberg),[4] a 12th-century castle that was abandoned in the early 18th century, lie on a hill southeast of the settlement. The castle chapel survives as a church dedicated to Saint Catherine.[5]
