Olimje was created as a settlement in 1995 through the merger of the former settlements of Slake and Sopote.[3]
Olimje Castle is a 16th-century castle located in the settlement. In the 17th century, when it was converted to a monastery, the monastic church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary was built. It is now also the local parish church.[4] A second church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Andrew and is a Late Gothic single nave building dating to the 15th century.[5]
