==History== Settlement of Šmarčna in prehistoric times is attested by Hallstatt culture finds. In the Middle Ages, Lower Erkenstin Castle (, ) stood in the hamlet of Gomila. During the Second World War, the German authorities deported the population of the village and settled Gottschee Germans there. The village was burned one week before the end of the war.
