Church
The local church, which stands on Slemšek Hill, is dedicated to the Holy Cross and belongs to the Parish of Vače. It was restored in the 1990s. It was built in 1898 on the site of an earlier structure damaged in the 1895 earthquake. The furnishings date from 1906 and were created by the Ljubljana sculptor Andrej Rovšek Jr. (1864–1907).

Why this record matters
The phrase “place in Lower Styria, Slovenia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 7, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q4652979. Authority coordinates are 46.121, 14.847. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014, 1898, 1895 and 1906.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
