Gorenje pri Zrečah


Gorenje pri Zrečah is a settlement in the Municipality of Zreče in northeastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of the Styria region. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja Statistical Region.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Sveta Kunigunda to Gorenje, and then again to Gorenje pri Zrečah in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.

Church

The local church, dedicated to Saint Cunigunde, is the parish church of the Parish of Saint Cunigunde on Pohorje. It dates to the late 14th century with extensive rebuilding in the 17th century.
