High beneath the rock walls of Olševa, lies the hamlet of Podolševa. Locals also call it the Holy Spirit, after the baroque church of the Holy Spirit that gives the hamlet a unique image. The current church was built in the end of the 19. century in the plce of the old church from the 15. century. The inside of the church hides a well-preserved gothic chalice and a Holy Trinity relief carved from yew wood. The latter is of interest because the Holy Spirit is depicted as a young man holding the Earth sphere, and not as a dove. The oldest bell with an inscription in the old gothic majuscule is found in the church.
