Križevci (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈkɾiːʒɛu̯tsi/; Hungarian: Keresztúr, in older sources Tótkeresztúr[2]) is a village in the Municipality of Gornji Petrovci in the Prekmurje region of Slovenia.
The name of the settlement was changed from Križevci v Prekmurju to Križevci in 1952.[3] Its name (literally, 'crosses') is derived from a chapel dedicated to the Holy Cross that used to stand in the village, but was pulled down in the late 19th century.[4]
There is a large Lutheran church in the village, built in 1785 and enlarged in 1885. It is one of the earliest Lutheran churches in Prekmurje.[5]
