### Mass grave

[edit]

Zgornja Kostrivnica is the site of a mass grave associated with the Second World War. The Cemetery Mass Grave (Slovene: Grobišče na pokopališču) is located in a grassy area in the southwest part of the village cemetery. It contains the remains of 17 people.[5]

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to the Virgin of Częstochowa (Slovene: Čenstohovska Mati Božja). It was built in 1786.[4][6] The chancel was added in 1835 and an oratory in 1859.[4] The main altar dates from 1769 and was transferred from Saint Aloysius Gonzaga Church in Maribor.[4] The pulpit and the four side altars date from 1859; they were created by France Kotnik and incorporate older sculpted elements dating from c. 1770.[4]
