SloveniaTraditional region Lower Carniola Statistical region Jugovzhodna Slovenija Municipality Šentjernej Area – Total 2.25 km2 (0.9 sq mi) Elevation 262.5 m (861 ft) Population (2002) – Total 327 [1] Gorenje Vrhpolje is a settlement to the southwest of Šentjernej in southeastern Slovenia. The area was traditionally part of Lower Carniola. It is now included in the Jugovzhodna Slovenija statistical region.[2]
The local church, built to the south of the village, is dedicated to Saint Urban and belongs to the Šentjernej parish. It is mentioned in written documents dating to 1439, but owes its current Baroque style to a major rebuilding in the 18th century. Fragments of the medieval wall paintings are still visible on the exterior northern wall of the nave.[3]
