Dolnja Briga (pronounced [ˈdoːlnja ˈbɾiːɡa]; in older sources also Dolenja Briga,[2] German: Niedertiefenbach[2][3]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.[4]

The local church was dedicated to Saint Valentine, but only minor ruins remain of the building, which was removed in 1954.[5]
