St. George's Church, Ptuj, Gothic parish church in Slovenski trg, Ptuj, Slovenia.

St. George's Church is a parish church in Ptuj whose 12th-century core was rebuilt in the 15th century in Gothic style. It has three aisles, a long choir with tall pointed windows and a sacristy added in 1737. The exterior walls carry Renaissance and Baroque gravestones from the churchyard that closed in 1776.

A church existed here by the 12th century, possibly over a 4th-century early Christian basilica. In 1246 it received a three-aisle layout with a west gallery; the 15th century brought a Gothic rebuilding, and a Baroque chapel followed in the 18th century. In 1863 it became a provostal church.

The church is dedicated to Saint George, patron of both the church and the town of Ptuj. Under a glass cover stands a wooden Gothic sculpture of the saint, and the Austrian painter Matija Schiffer depicted his death on the presbytery ceiling in 1815. The choir stalls of 1446 are carved with plant ornaments and animal figures.

The church stands on Slovenski trg, behind the Monument of Orpheus and the free-standing Town Tower, so it is reached from the square's southwest side. The sacristy of 1737 is entered through wrought-iron doors from the first half of the 15th century. The parish house faces the church across a courtyard holding a 16th-century tower, a corridor with biforas and a Renaissance portal.

Under a glass cover stands a wooden Gothic statue of St. George, patron of both church and town. In the choir are 40 oak choir stalls from 1446, carved with plant ornaments and animal figures, and the only surviving altar servers' stalls from 1763, each with a different pattern by Ptuj joiners.
