Podsreda is a smaller village, which belongs to the Kozje Commune. The commune as an independent unit exists from the year 1958. Podsreda was first mentioned in the year 1377. To the square rights and privileges today still reminds the pillory. In the middle age the village experienced the largest blossoming. After many plagues and the fire in the end of the 18th century the square did not recover any more. The medieval ground plan preserved in spite of all and was proclaimed for a cultural monument. The ground plan of the village is funnel shaped. The main street is from both sides surrounded with houses. They are turned to the square with the longer side.
