Gore, Hrastnik


Gore is a settlement in the Municipality of Hrastnik in central Slovenia. Traditionally the area was part of the Styria region. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Central Sava Statistical Region.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Sveti Jurij ob Turju to Gore in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.

Church

The local church is dedicated to Saint George and belongs to the Parish of Hrastnik. It dates to the early 16th century.
