Kompole (pronounced [ˈkoːmpɔlɛ]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Štore in eastern Slovenia. It lies in the hills above the left bank of the Voglajna River south of Štore. The area was traditionally part of the Lower Styria region. It is now included with the rest of the municipality in the Savinja Statistical Region.[2]

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Lawrence of Rome and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Celje. It dates to the second half of the 14th century, but was extensively rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries.[3]
