The name of the settlement was changed from Šent Vid (literally, 'Saint Vitus') to Podnanos (literally, 'below Mount Nanos') in 1952. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. The local name of the settlement, Šembid,[4] is derived from Šent Vid.[5][6][7]
In addition to the churches in Podnanos, other cultural heritage includes the following:
Roženek Manor (Slovene: Vila Roženek, German: Roseneck), also known as Dolenc Manor (Slovene: Dolenčeva graščina), is a rural structure located northwest of Saints Cosmas and Damian Church in the hamlet of Podbrje. It has a rectangular layout and an internal courtyard. On the south side there is an outbuilding with a pergola with stone columns. The manor dates from the 17th century.[10]
Schiwitzhofen Manor (Slovene: Vila Schiwitzhofen), also known as Živec Manor (Slovene: Živčeva graščina), is a rural structure located southeast of Saints Cosmas and Damian Church in the hamlet of Podbrje. It features stone door frames, window frames, and a cantilevered cornice. It has a long rectangular layout consisting of a residential building with a small arcaded courtyard, an outbuilding, and a garden. The manor dates from the 17th century.[11]
