Altwinkel

German: Altwinkel // Gottscheerish: Autbinkl // Slovenian: Stari Kot

Oral tradition indicates that Altwinkel was founded around 1700. The village had 32 houses in 1770 and had a minority Gottschee German population. The men traditionally performed seasonal work in the forests of Croatia, Hungary, and elsewhere. A part-time school was founded in the village in 1904, and a separate school building was built in 1910. During the Second World War, on 19 April 1942 the men of the village joined the Partisans en masse. On 29 July 1942 Italian forces burned the entire village and removed the population to concentration camps. After the war some of the villagers settled in neighboring villages and others rebuilt their houses with the assistance of the recovery association in Suchen. The prewar/postwar number of houses in the village's hamlets were Binkl, Kurja Vas, Pri Ambrožiču, Hrib, and Preska.

The local church is built on a hill west of the village next to the cemetery. It is dedicated to Saint Francis Xavier and belongs to the Parish of Suchen. It is a late Baroque building that contains three 19th-century wooden altars. It was consecrated before 1740, but the building's current architecture dates from circa 1900. It has a single entry through the bell tower.
