Jeruzalem (pronounced [jɛˈɾuːzalɛm]) is a small settlement in the eastern part of the Slovene Hills (Slovene: Slovenske gorice) in the Municipality of Ljutomer in northeastern Slovenia. The area traditionally belonged to the Styria region and is now included in the Mura Statistical Region.[2]

The local church is a pilgrimage church dedicated to Mary of the Seven Sorrows. It belongs to the Parish of Miklavž pri Ormožu. A chapel was built on the site in 1652. In the late 17th century it was extended by converting the chapel to the sanctuary and building a nave. In the 18th century a belfry and a new chapel were added.[3]
