Črni Križ, Monument of local significance in Lormanje, Slovenia.

Črni Križ is a stone monument in the Črni les forest above Komarniško Lake in the village of Lormanje. It was rebuilt in 1936 on the site of the original 1605 marker, which had fallen into ruin and whose stones were reused for a barn. The monument commemorates Agata of Štralek, beheaded on this spot on witchcraft charges.

Count Ivan Friderik Herberstein had the monument erected in 1605 as a memorial to his wife Agata of Štralek, who was beheaded at this spot on his mother's orders after being accused of witchcraft. It was renewed in 1665 and again in 1789, then forgotten and left to collapse, its stones reused in a barn. In 1936 the Catholic educational society Zarja from Lenart rebuilt it on the same site, prompted by Ožbalt Ilaunig's 1928 book on the cross.

The name Črni Križ means 'Black Cross', after the black marble cross Count Friderik had made. The story survived orally until Ožbalt Ilaunig published it in 1928, and the Catholic society Zarja from Lenart rebuilt the cross in 1936. A plaque beside the monument tells the tale.

The site is accessible via marked hiking trails that wind through the Črni les forest area. Wear sturdy footwear as the paths are forested and can be muddy, especially during wet seasons.

The monument was rebuilt in 1936 on the initiative of Ožbalt Ilaunig, who in 1928 published the oral tradition about it in the book Črni Križ pri Hrastovcu. The Catholic educational society Zarja from Lenart carried out the reconstruction at the original site.
