How can we infer from the title, the city was associated with lead mining. This is probably mined as early as the mid-14th century, but perhaps in 1519, both derive from the date on the seal used in the 18th Olovím century, was founded by Stephen Slik owning Jáchymov town.

In 1523, however, he certainly gave a special privilege. Oloví began in 1524 to lead the top of the book and by the mid-16th century had its own seal and emblem.

In 1558 came Oloví Ferdinand I, upper right, and in 1561 the same exalted ruler of the royal mining town, which in 1581 again confirmed by Rudolf II. He even gave the city in 1594 right chastened character and red sealing wax.

Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic declared in 2000, area church. Archangel Michael as a cultural monument. The ravages of time, but especially the lack of maintenance on this very monument sign. The result of the defects that have come up in some sections of the stage of threats to stability throughout the building. This issue has confounded not only the ecclesiastical authorities, but also citizens of the village, especially olovským natives living in Germany. After many discussions between interested parties, each has pledged financial assistance, was started in August 2004 to repair the church roof.
