Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Sveta Uršula (literally, 'Saint Ursula') 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.[5][6][7] Before Vodule became the name of the entire settlement, the name used to refer to one of the hamlets in the settlement.<[8]
Church
The local church is dedicated to Saint Ursula and belongs to the Parish of Dramlje. It dates to between 1650 and 1660.[9]
