The settlement gets its name from the local church.

Church

The church in Šentožbolt is dedicated to Saint Oswald. It is a single-nave structure with a polygonal chancel oriented toward the east, and it was first mentioned in written records in 1526. The church was remodeled in the Baroque style in 1621, and remodeled again in 1825. An old fresco is preserved on the exterior wall. The furnishings in the church are late Baroque.[4][5] The painting of Saint Bartholomew in the church is the work of Leopold Layer (1752–1828). The church was designated a vicariate in 1787 and the seat of a parish in 1876.[5]
