Brezje (pronounced [ˈbɾeːzjɛ]) is a settlement north of Izlake in the Municipality of Zagorje ob Savi in central Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of the Upper Carniola region. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region.[2]

A small Neo-Gothic chapel-shrine at the crossroads in the centre of the settlement is dedicated to the Virgin Mary. It dates to 1890 and was renovated in 1997.[3]
