Podlehnik is a settlement and a municipality in the Haloze hills in eastern Slovenia. The area traditionally belonged to the region of Styria. It is now included in the Podravska statistical region.[2]
The settlement developed around the 13th century Lehnik Castle. The castle was destroyed during Ottoman raids in 1532 and very few traces of it remain (foundations of a tower and a defense ditch).[3] What was originally the castle chapel, is now the local church, dedicated to the Mother of God and was expanded in the 16th and 18th centuries.[4]
