Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Šent Janž na Vinski Gori (literally, 'Saint John on Wine Mountain') to Vinska Gora (literally, 'Wine Mountain') in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms.[3][4][5]

Church

The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to John the Baptist and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It was built in the 15th century with major rebuilding dating to the 19th century.[6]

gollark: I'm not entirely sure what the aim is - maybe they originally wanted to go for highly concurrent systems or something, but nowadays it seems to mostly be used in trendy cloudy things, servers, command line utilities, that sort of thing.
gollark: I think my use cases are nice usecases, and I think it has flaws even in the domains it seems to be targeted at.
gollark: I think it should at least not, essentially, deliberately cripple itself at some classes of thing.
gollark: I'm not sure exactly what they're targeting - maybe trendy cloud™-type tools, simple webservers, etc - but even *in* that domain it just seems bad to me.
gollark: If they did in fact mean it as a DSL for deploying bees against Google Cloud, they should say so.
