Pišece (pronounced [piˈʃeːtsɛ]) is a village in the hills west of Bizeljsko in the Municipality of Brežice in eastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Styria. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Lower Sava Statistical Region.
The local parish church is dedicated to Saint Michael and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1406, but the current building dates to the late 18th century.
Pišece Castle is a medieval castle northwest of the main settlement. It was built in the 13th century with 16th-century additions. It was an important link in the defences against Ottoman raids in the 15th and 16th century.
