Crngrob (pronounced [ˈtsəɾnɡɾɔp]; German: Ehrengruben[2]) is a small village in the Municipality of Škofja Loka in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

[3][4] The Slovene name is borrowed from the Middle High German prepositional phrase ze Erngruben, literally 'at Erngrub'.

The German name is a compound of ern 'to plow (up)' or erde '(fertile) soil' + gruobe 'depression, basin' and may refer to a mammoth rib dug up at the site (now hanging in the church),[3][4] to a robber's hideout in a cave, or to the small fertile valley where the settlement is located.

The main altar was created in 1652 by the Ljubljana sculptor Jurij Skarnos and was gilded by Jakob Jamšek of Škofja Loka.

The forged railing in front of the main altar was created by the Škofja Loka locksmith Gregor Jesenko.
