Gornji Petrovci (pronounced as /sl/; hu|Péterhegy,[2] Prekmurje Slovene: Gornji Petrouvci[3]) is a town in Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Gornji Petrovci.[4]
There are two churches in Gornji Petrovci. The Roman Catholic parish church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and is a structure that originated in the late 13th century, but was rebuilt on a number of occasions in the following centuries, preserving certain features from each phase. The relatively short nave is Romanesque, with Baroque internal furnishings. The sanctuary is Late Gothic.[5] The local Lutheran church is a large single-nave building and is one of the largest Lutheran churches in Prekmurje. It was built in 1804 and renovated in 1894.[6]
