Morava (pronounced [mɔˈɾaːʋa]; German: Mrauen[2][3]) is a village in the Municipality of Kočevje in southern Slovenia.

It is believed to be derived from the archaic Slovene common noun *morava '(wet) meadow'.

A church already stood at the site at least as early as 1674, based on the date carved into the door casing; however, there was probably already a structure at the location by the end of the 15th century.

The church was a single-nave structure with a flat ceiling and a narrower barrel-vaulted octagonal chancel walled on five sides.

The church was renovated in 1896, and then remodeled and extended in 1902, when a bell tower with a clock was added, replacing the shingled bell-gable and serving as an entry vestibule.
