Zgornja Pristava (pronounced [ˈzɡoːɾnja ˈpɾiːstaʋa]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Slovenske Konjice in eastern Slovenia. It lies south and west of Slovenske Konjice and its territory extends to the top of Mount Konjice (Slovene: Konjiška gora, 924 m). The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. The municipality is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.[2]
Mass grave
Zgornja Pristava is the site of a mass grave from the period immediately after the Second World War. The Trebnik Manor Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče nad graščino Trebnik) lies on a slope southwest of Slovenske Konjice near an electric power line. It contains the remains of 30 to 40 Slovene civilians from Slovenske Konjice that were murdered in May or June 1945.[3]
Konjice Castle
The ruins of Konjice Castle lie on the slopes of Mount Konjice south of the settlement. It was an extensive castle built in the 12th century and abandoned in the 18th century.[4]
