Drča (pronounced [ˈdəɾtʃa]) is a village in the foothills of the Gorjanci Hills in the Municipality of Å entjernej in southeastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[2]

It is best known as the location of the Pleterje Charterhouse, a monastery founded in 1407 with a walled enclosure that includes a Gothic church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity and a newer part of the monastery including its library, built between 1899 and 1904.[3]
