Srednja vas is a village in the Šenčur municipality in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Twin churches with a single shared spire in the village are dedicated to Saint Radegund and Saint Catherine. Saint Radeugunde's is the older of the two with a Romanesque nave and Gothic frescos from around 1440. The sanctuary has Gothic rib vaulting from the second half of the 15th century and the nave was vaulted in 1853. Saint Catherine's is younger with a choir dated 1535. Eight Stations of the Cross are displayed in the nave and a wooden polychrome pulpit from the 17th century can be seen on the south wall[2]. The spire was probably built in the early 16th century at about the time the second church was erected[3].
