Seč (pronounced [ˈseːtʃ]; German: Setsch[2][3]) is an abandoned settlement in the Municipality of Kočevje in southern Slovenia. It was a village inhabited by Gottschee Germans. In 1941, during the Second World War its original population was expelled. 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 is dedicated to Saint Agnes (Slovene: sveta Neža) and was built in 1837. Its interior furnishings were destroyed after the Second World War. It was restored in the early 1980s.[5]
