The village of Dutovlje
Dutovlje lies in the middle of the Karst wine-growing region along the Sežana–Nova Gorica road and was first mentioned in 1284 as Totoian or Dietendorf.
The locals are called “Dutovci” and not “Dutovčani”!
The old village consists of several areas, such as Bitnja, the lower village, the upper village, red soil, Na Hrbeli and the village square.
The centre of the village is concentrated around the St. George church, where the Knights Templar once had their fort.
Traces of settlement date back to the prehistoric times. In the last century, a treasure from the Roman era and urn graves were found on the site of today’s railway station. Along the road to Kreplje, the Austro-Hungarian military cemetery is lcoated.
In 1906, the first train passed through Dutovlje, while the carpentry cooperative started operating in 1948 and was later developed and renamed into Krasoprema, furniture factory.
Today, Dutovlje is the nucleus of the local community for neighbouring villages with its own primary school, a kindergarten, a factory, a health station, a pharmacy, a post office and a social protection institute.
