The Belfry of St. George

Banuta is one of the smallest settlements where members of the Hungarian minority live and it stretches in the vicinity of Mother Mary’s Tree in the Črni log forest. It is considered to be one of the smallest settlements in the region along the River Mura and is only a couple of hundred metres away from the main road Lendava-Dobrovnik. A significant sacral monument of the village inhabited both by the Hungarian minority as well as the Slovenian majority community is the brick-built belfry that was built in the first half of the 20th century. The belfry in the centre of the settlement is also the village´s spiritual centre.
