Polšnik ({{IPA|sl|ˈpoːu̯ʃnik|pron}}; {{langx|de|Billichberg}}Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru, vol. 6: Kranjsko. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 94.) is a settlement in the Municipality of Litija in central Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region.[http://www.litija.si/ Municipality of Litija website] Together with the two parts of the main settlement (Zgornji Polšnik and Spodnji Polšnik) it also includes the hamlets of Na Puši, Seruč, Koprivnik, Slop, Glinjek, Velika Njiva ({{langx|sl|Velika njiva}}), and Sušje.{{cite book |last1=Savnik |first1=Roman |title=Krajevni leksikon Slovenije, vol. 2 |date=1971 |publisher=Državna založba Slovenije |location=Ljubljana |page=276}}
History
Polšnik was created as a single settlement in 1953, when the previously separate villages of Spodnji Polšnik and Zgornji Polšnik were merged.{{cite book |title=Razširjeni seznam sprememb naselij: od 1948 do 1964: (poimenovanja, združevanja, odcepitve, pristavki, razglastive in ukinitve) |date=1965 |publisher=Zavod SR Slovenije za statistiko |location=Ljubljana |pages=80, 95, 121}}

The local parish church is dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Ljubljana. It was designed by Franc Avsec and built in 1904 with an octagonal nave.[http://rkd.situla.org/ Slovenian Ministry of Culture register of national heritage] reference number ešd 2155 A second church, built on Glinjek Hill (828 m) south of the main settlement, belongs to the same parish. It is dedicated to Saint George ({{langx|sl|sveti Jurij}}) and originally dates to the 13th century. It was restyled in the 19th century, but retains some of its original features.[http://rkd.situla.org/ Slovenian Ministry of Culture register of national heritage] reference number ešd 2160
