Name
editBreg pri Ribnici na Dolenjskem was attested in written sources as Williginrain in 1241 and Willigem Rain in 1340, among other spellings.[4] The name of the settlement was changed from Breg to Breg pri Ribnici na Dolenjskem in 1953.[5] In the past the German name was Willingrain.[2]
Castle
editVery little remains of the castle that used to dominate the southern end of the settlement. It is first mentioned as an estate in written documents dating to 1241. The castle itself was built in the mid 15th century. By 1810 it was in a very dilapidated state and building material from the castle was used in contemporary buildings in Ribnica.[6]
