Cultural Heritage
In addition to Three Kings' Church, several other structures in Vrh Svetih Treh Kraljev have protected cultural monument status:
- A closed chapel-shrine stands near the Peterček farm at house no. 6 in the village. It has an arched niche, a steep triangular pediment, and a tile roof. The interior contains a partially vaulted altar area and a wooden statue of Saint Anthony the Hermit.
- The rectory is a two-story building with a symmetrical half-hipped roof. It has a stone door casing bearing the year 1897. It is an unnumbered building standing south of Three Kings' Church.
- The village cemetery lies north of Three Kings' Church on the rise known as Three Kings' Peak (Slovene: Vrh Treh kraljev). It is a walled cemetery with metal gates, a simple funeral chapel, and a large wooden crucifix. A memorial to the Home Guard soldiers killed after the Second World War was erected in 1993.
- The farm at house no. 1 consists of a stone house built into the hill with an arched stone door casing bearing the year 1841 and a votive niche above this, a barn with a loft covered with a steep gabled roof, and a double hayrack with a votive niche in its stone column. It stands along the road to Three Kings' Peak, east of Jereb Hill (Slovene: Jerebov grič).
- The farm at house no. 4 consists of a house built above a cellar with two dormers above the main entrance. It has a symmetrical gabled tiled roof and dates from the beginning of the 20th century. There is also a double hayrack with stone columns. The farm stands below the road to Three Kings' Peak, east of Three Kings' Church.
- The farm at house no. 6 is built above a cellar and has the year 1862 carved into its wooden door casing. The wooden fanlight above the door has carvings depicting the Flight into Egypt.
