History of Rogaska Slatina


JuteVilla
Grave is located in the southeast part of the town, in a ravine above the railroad tracks. It contains the remains of 18 to 20 Croatians that were hunted down and murdered at the site in May and June 1945. The Flower Hill Mass Grave lies east of the town and is believed to occupy the entire ravine below the former Triglav Hotel. It contains the remains of an unknown number of victims murdered after the war. Rogaška Slatina is a synonym for health-resort tourism in Slovenia. For centuries the curative mineral water rich in magnesium (branded as Donat Mg), the picturesque countryside, and other local attractions have attracted visitors to the area. Roman inscriptions referring to the spa waters have been found. The parish church in the town is dedicated to the Holy Cross and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje. It was built between 1864 and 1866 in a Neo-Romanesque style.

Another church, next to the village of Prnek, is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It also belongs to the Parish of Rogaška Slatina. It was built in the 17th century and contains an interesting gold-plated altar dating to between 1650 and 1675. The rest of the internal furnishings are from the 18th and 19th centuries
