The Belfry of Saint Florian

Dolga vas, or Long village in Slovene (and Hungarian), got its name from the long main street in the village that is almost three kilometres in length. In the middle of the village, next to the main road, the old belfry of St. Florian is situated, which was built in the place of the old wooden belfry. Since then, it has been repaired several times and its surroundings have been set in order. The colourful façade of the belfry bears a painting of Saint Florian, its patron saint. Continuing along the path on the main street, one can soon find one of Slovenia´s largest Jewish cemeteries that is at the same time the only remaining Jewish cemetery in Prekmurje.
