Radomerščak (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈɾaːdɔmɛɾʃtʃak/, German: Pichelberg[2]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Ljutomer in northeastern Slovenia. The area traditionally belonged to the Styria region and is now included in the Mura Statistical Region.[3]

The Slovene philologist Franz Miklosich was born in the village in 1813. The house where he was born is preserved as a museum. It dates to the 17th century and was expanded in 1926, when a commemorative plaque was also unveiled. It was restored in 1960 and again in 1991.[4]

The chapel-shrine in the north of the settlement was built in the late 19th century.[5]
