Križevci (pronounced [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]
