Destrnik is a settlement and a municipality in northeastern Slovenia. It lies in the Slovenske Gorice hills, to the north of Ptuj. The area was part of the traditional region of Lower Styria. It is now included in the Drava statistical region.[2]
The local parish church, built on the highest point in the settlement, dominates its landscape and appears in the municipal coat of arms. It is dedicated to Saint Urban and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It dates to the 16th century with 18th century adaptations. The feast day of Saint Urban, 25 May, has also been chosen as the official municipal feast.[3]
