Dolenje (pronounced [dɔˈleːnjɛ]) is a village on the left bank of the Vipava River in the Municipality of Ajdovščina in the Littoral region of Slovenia.[2]

Church

Saint Margaret's Church

The local church is dedicated to Saint Margaret and belongs to the Parish of Planina.[3] The church stands on a rise south of the village. It is a single-nave structure with a chancel with three bays. The nave is wider and taller than the chancel, and there is a bell gable over the entrance. The chancel dates from the 16th century and is rib vaulted, and the nave was built in 1646.[4]

A stone arch bridge over the Vipava River links Dolenje to the village of Dolga Poljana. The three-arch bridge was built in the 19th century. It is paved with gravel and supported by buttresses that are reinforced with groynes on the upstream side. There is a low stone wall on both sides of the bridge, and a shrine with a semi-circular niche once stood at it.[5]
