Sveti Duh na Ostrem Vrhu (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈsʋeːti ˈduːx na ˈoːstɾɛɱ ˈʋəɾxu/) is a dispersed settlement in the hills north of Selnica ob Dravi in northeastern Slovenia, right on the border with Austria.[2]

It gets its name from the local parish church dedicated to the Holy Spirit (Slovenian: Sveti Duh). It is a single-nave building with a belfry, dating to 1675. Right next to it is a second, smaller church, dedicated to Saint Augustine. It was built in 1693.[3]
