Kuteževo (Template:Lang-it) is a village southeast of Ilirska Bistrica in the Inner Carniola region of Slovenia.[2]

Mass graves

Kuteževo is the site of two known mass graves from the end of the Second World War. They both contain the remains of German soldiers from the 97th Corps that were killed at the beginning of May 1945. The Hadrovec Mass Grave (Template:Lang-sl), also known as the German Garden Mass Grave ([Grobišče Nemški vrtec] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), lies about 400 m northeast of the settlement. It contains the remains of 20 prisoners of war, including a major.[3] The Poliščice Mass Grave ([Grobišče Poliščice] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), also known as the Pleščica Mass Grave ([Grobišče Pleščica] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), lies about 100 m north of the house at Kuteževo no. 1E and contains the remains of eight soldiers.[4]

Church

The small church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Joseph and belongs to the Parish of Podgraje.[5]
