The Austrian town opposite Šentilj is Spielfeld.

The parish church, from which the settlement also gets its name, is dedicated to Saint Giles. It was first mentioned in written documents dating to 1329. In 1532 it was looted by Ottoman Turks. It became an independent parish in 1784 and the current building was built in 1806 in a cruciform plan with a tall belfry.[http://rkd.situla.org/ Slovenian Ministry of Culture register of national heritage] reference number 6726
