Suha ({{IPA|sl|ˈsuːxa|pron}}; {{langx|de|Zauchen}}Leksikon občin kraljestev in dežel zastopanih v državnem zboru, vol. 6: Kranjsko. 1906. Vienna: C. Kr. Dvorna in Državna Tiskarna, p. 62.) is a village just outside Škofja Loka in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is an old settlement, with its earliest mention in documents dating to AD 973.

Church

File:Suha pri Škofji Loki - Cerkev sv. Janeza Krstnika(EŠD710).jpg

There are a number of interesting architectural monuments in the centre of the village, but Suha is best known for its parish church (until 1975 belonging to the Parish of Škofja Loka){{cite web |url=http://katoliska-cerkev.si/ssk/ljubljanska-metropolija-2/novomeski-skof-msgr-andrej-glavan |title=Novomeški škof msgr. Andrej Glavan |trans-title=The Bishop of Novo Mesto, Msgr. Andrej Glavan |accessdate=30 July 2014 |publisher=Slovene Bishops' Conference}} dedicated to John the Baptist. It has a Gothic star-vaulted chancel. Frescos from the mid-15th century survive, painted by the unnamed painter known as the Master of Suha, known to have worked in a number of other local churches, but named after his work in this church because it is one of the best examples of his work. There are also 16th-century frescos by Jernej of Loka in the church.[http://www.skofjaloka.si/en/znamenitostiokolice.asp?id=1&subid=4 Škofja Loka municipal site] The well-preserved frescos are some of the most important in Slovenia and the church has been listed as a monument of national importance.[http://www.uradni-list.si/1/objava.jsp?urlid=200166&stevilka=3543 Official Journal of the Republic of Slovenia 9 August 2001]
