Boštanj (pronounced [ˈbɔːʃtan], sometimes Boštanjska vas, German: Weißenstein[2]) is a formerly independent settlement in the southern part of the village of Veliko Mlačevo in central Slovenia. It belongs to the Municipality of Grosuplje. It is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region.
Geography
Boštanj stands on a hill east of Saint Martin's Church in Veliko Mlačevo. Podlomščica Creek, which flows into the Račna Karst Field, runs past the base of the hill.
History
Prehistoric burial mounds and Roman graves have been discovered at Boštanj, attesting to early habitation of the area. The Boštanj state-run farm was established after the Second World War and sold milk to Ljubljana. A brick works south of the settlement was abandoned in 1962, and a sawmill near Boštanj stopped operating in 1965.[3] Boštanj was annexed by Veliko Mlačevo in 1953, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[4][5]
