Church of the Holy Trinity

The Church of the Holy Trinity is located in Lendavske gorice, in a place where a military fort once stood. In it you can find a natural mummy which, according to legend, is the body of a knight named Mihael Hadik, said to be one of the heroes of the fight against the Turks.
