Ruše is a small town and a municipality in northeastern Slovenia. It lies on the right bank of the Drava River to the west of Maribor and extends south into the Pohorje hills. The area was part of the traditional region of Lower Styria. It is now included in the Drava statistical region.[2]
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to the Holy Name of Mary and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1387, but was destroyed in an Ottoman raid in 1532. It was rebuilt soon after and then extended in the 17th century. The current structure was built in 1833.[3]
