A scattered settlement about six km east of Sveta Trojika. In Osek there are traces of a Roman settlement with a pottery kiln, next to it an ancient Roman quarry and a Roman burial ground with about fifty graves of stonemasons, some of which were archaeologically examined.

Well-preserved fossils of snails and mussels can still be found in the limestone.

Porčič is the Slovenian derivation of the German word for castle ; the Middle High German Purg changed to * Porg in Slovenian , using the diminutive ( small castle ) to * Porgcic on to today's Porčič . The German name Burgstall was first mentioned in written sources in 1338 as Purchstal , 1419 as Purkstal, and 1445 as Purckstall and Purgstal . In 1763 the place Purgstoll , in 1787 for the first time Burgstall . Zgornji porčič literally means "Oberburgstall" to distinguish the settlement from the neighboring "Niederburgstall", Spodnji porčič , and "Altenburgstall", Stari porčič (both located in the municipality of Lenart).

The name Burgstall comes from the Middle High German burcstal and means something like small castle . This small castle was owned by the Styrian Counts von Stubenberger . It was destroyed during the Turkish Wars.

In the village there is a small renovated chapel of the Holy Cross, in Slovenian: Poličeva kapela with a tower in neo-Gothic style, built around 1885.

history

In 1419 a small castle ( Purgstal , a medieval name for a smaller castle) is mentioned for the first time. In 1631 there are records of a wooden pilgrimage chapel that stood on the hill where the church and monastery now stand; he was called Purgstalberg . According to legend, pilgrims saw three bright lights or stars of great brightness on the hill. According to the story, this miracle led to a first chapel in honor of the Holy Trinity. Count Wolfgang von Stubenberg was captured and imprisoned by agents of the Doge in the 17th century because of a love affair. In the event of his release, he vowed to found a monastery in his homeland. An Augustinian monk helped him to escape and out of gratitude and to fulfill his vows he founded the Holy Trinity Monastery.

With the construction of the church from 1636 to 1643 - the foundation stone was laid on June 15, 1636 - a larger settlement was created at the same time, which was named after the patronage of the church, the Holy Trinity in Windischen Büheln .

In 1663 Augustinians from Radkersburg took over the services and moved into Holy Trinity with the completion of the monastery. The pilgrimages attracted more and more people, so that from 1735 the church and the monastery were partially renovated and enlarged until 1780; especially Count Josip Kazimir Drašković von Trakošćan contributed considerable funds for the construction of the church. In its prime, up to 12,000 pilgrims came to the Holy Trinity every year. Under Emperor Joseph II , pilgrimages were forbidden, the monastery was allowed to stay on the basis of the Edict of Tolerance , as it had served as a school since 1780. In October 1787 the Augustinians applied for the monastery to be closed for financial reasons. At the request of the community, the Franciscan order took over the vacant monastery on June 11, 1853 and continues to run it today.

In 1872 the place was granted market rights. Due to the events of the First and Second World War, there is no longer a German-speaking population in Sveta Trojika. After the communists came to power in Yugoslavia, the name of the municipality was changed to Gradišče , which means castle hill , in 1952 . The basis for the name change was a law from 1948 that provided for the renaming of all religious names for places, squares and streets. In 1953 the village was renamed Gradišče v Slovenskih Goricah . After Slovenian independence, the place got its original name back in 1992, Sveta Trojica v Slovenskih goricah.

In 1955, as part of communist administrative reforms, the municipality of Sveta Trojika was dissolved and added to the municipality of Lenart. On March 1, 2006 Sveta Trojika was again an independent municipality.
