Voglje (pronounced [ˈʋoːɡljɛ]; German: Winklern[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Šenčur in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.
Name
[edit]Voglje was attested in written sources in 1247 as in villa Winkeler (and as Winchleren in 1313 and Winklern in 1408). The Slovene name developed from the plural accusative demonym *Ǫgъľane, derived from the common noun *ǫgъlъ (> Sln. vogel) 'corner; upper part of a mountain chain; place where two ridges diverge', and therefore originally refers to the residents of such a location.[3]
Church
[edit]The local church is dedicated to Saint Simon and Saint Jude and was built in 1750 on the site of an earlier church.[4]
