Bač (pronounced [ˈbatʃ]; German: Batsch,[2] Italian: Baccia)[citation needed] is a village northeast of Knežak in the Municipality of Ilirska Bistrica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[3]
Name
The name Bač is related to the Slovene common noun beč '(stone- or wood-lined) hollow with a spring' (< *bъťъ), referring to a local geographical feature. The Slavic word *bъťъ was borrowed from Latin buttis 'barrel' and is also the origin of the Slovene toponyms Beč and Buč.[4]
Kalec Castle
The ruins of Kalec Castle (also Na Kalcu; German: Steinberg or Stemberg)[2][5] stand northwest of Bač near the sources of the Pivka River. The castle was built in 1620, and a cylindrical tower and walled courtyard were later added. The property was owned by the Wilicher (Slovene: Vilhar) family. The tower was restored in 1939, and the rest of the structure is in ruins.[5]
Church
The local church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Anne and belongs to the Parish of Knežak.[6]
