It lies in the hills to the north and west of Vransko. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Styria. The municipality is now included in the Savinja statistical region.[2]
The local church from which the settlement gets its name is dedicated to Saint Jerome (Slovene: Sveti Jeronim) and belongs to the Vransko parish. It is an early 15th century building and parts of the walled enclosure built in defence against Ottoman raids still survive. The nave was extended and the belfry rebuilt in the 18th century.[3]
