Stopnik (pronounced [ˈstoːpnik]) is a settlement in the Municipality of Vransko in central Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. The municipality is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.[2]
The local church is dedicated to Saints Hermagoras and Fortunatus and belongs to the Parish of Vransko. It dates to the 15th century with some 17th- and 19th-century rebuilding.[3]
To the west of the settlement are also the ruins of Stopnik Castle, first mentioned in the 12th century and abandoned around 1800.[4]
