Church edit
The church in Brdo is located above the hamlet of Goropeče. It is dedicated to the Saint Nicholas. It is a chapel of ease and belongs to the parish of Saint George in Ihan.[3] The church is originally a Gothic single-nave church that was reworked in the Baroque style in 1750, when the bell tower and chapel were added. The sacristy dates from 1718. The rib-vaulted chancel dates to the 14th century and contains paintings by a student of the 15th-century master painter Bolfgang. The church has Renaissance and Baroque furnishings, and the main altar was created in 1669.[4]
