An 1893 chapel with views across Slovenske gorice and an annual Assumption Day celebration.

The Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help stands in Radehova near Lenart, close to Radehova reservoir. Known locally as Stipar Chapel, it was built in 1893 by the family of Josip Stipar. It is the only filial church of the Lenart parish. From its hilltop setting, views extend across the Pesnica Valley towards Pohorje, Zavrh and, on clear days, the Austrian mountains.

Radehova also has a distinctive religious history. In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, a movement known as the skakači gathered in this area and erected wooden chapels. Those historic chapels should not be confused with the present 19th-century building. The chapel underwent a major restoration in 1983, followed by improvements to its interior and the installation of an organ.

The annual parish feast on 15 August, the Feast of the Assumption, remains an important local tradition. The chapel is also used for services, weddings and baptisms. A spring, benches and paths maintained by the local community surround it. The site connects religious heritage with village life and the landscape of Slovenske gorice.
