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]
