Mass graves
Medlog is the site of three known mass graves from the period immediately after the Second World War. They are part of the 25 mass graves in the Celje area. The Slovenijales Mass Grave (Grobišče Slovenijales) lies south of the settlement, in a former trench used to store gasoline barrels near the Medlog Airport and where the Slovenijales factory and Avto Celje premises now stand. It contains the remains of a large number of Croatian civilians murdered in May and June 1945. The Tirdrož Mass Grave (Grobišče Tirdrož), also known as the Tirgut Mass Grave (Grobišče Tirgut), is located between Ložnica Creek to the north, a water pumping station to the west, and the main road to the south. It measures 320 by and contains the remains of Croatian refugees murdered in May 1945. The Lipovšek Meadow Mass Grave (Grobišče Lipovškov travnik), also known as the Šef Woods Mass Grave (Grobišče Šefov gozd), is a former antitank trench in the northeast part of the settlement. It contains the remains of about 400 Croatian civilian refugees in four areas measuring 2 by. Human remains were uncovered by the Nivo Celje company during excavation work at the site and disposed of in an unknown manner.
