Culture and history

The Church of St George in Sveti Jurij originated in the 12th or 13th century. The present-day Church of St George in Sveti Jurij preserves the original presbytery and bell tower. The Church of St Helena at Pertoča is first mentioned in historical sources in 1425. Its presbytery was renovated in 2009 according to the designs of Marko Ivan Rupnik. The work included a new altar, ambo, baptismal font and tabernacle, which, together with a mosaic, form a religiously and symbolically distinctive ensemble.

Dajčev mlin in Sotina is a complex consisting of a multi-storey roller mill building and a single-storey sawmill on the Ledava. Dajčev mlin was powered by hydropower, specifically water turbines, until 1959, after which it switched to electric power. The wooden bell tower in Ocinje is estimated to have been built around 1750 and was restored to its original form in 2000. The wooden bell tower in the Ocinje cemetery is one of the best-preserved examples of built heritage in Pomurje.
