Vodule


Vodule is a settlement in the Municipality of Å entjur in eastern Slovenia. It lies in the hills just east of Dramlje. The area is part of the historical Styria region. The municipality is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.

Name

The name of the settlement was changed from Sveta Uršula to Vodule in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. Before Vodule became the name of the entire settlement, the name used to refer to one of the hamlets in the settlement.<

Church

The local church is dedicated to Saint Ursula and belongs to the Parish of Dramlje. It dates to between 1650 and 1660.
