From the official sources from year 1991 Slovenia has 2887 churches, but this number has grown till today. In Registry of real estate cultural legacy of the Ministry for culture there are 2341 registered church buildings. Next to non-Roman Chatolic churches we also have Baptist church, Evangelistic churches, Greek Catholic churches and the Orthodox church.

Most of Slovenian villages that do not have a church probably have a chapel. Usually they are located next to the road, some can be found on lonely places in the middle of the woods. Chapel can be constituent part of the church, some are also located in other secular buildings, like bigger hospitals and institution.
