History Študa was the very first of the settlements comprising Domžale to be mentioned in historical sources, in 1205. During the Middle Ages, the various farms in Študa were held in feud to a variety of estates (Smlednik, Bogenšperk, Križ, and Bokavce) and parishes (Mengeš and Kamnik). The region was affected by the plague around 1600, as evidenced by the Dimec plague column () dating from 1602. The shrine stands west of the village along the road to Dragomelj. The farmers in Študa held common land until 1882, when it was divided. Along with Spodnje Domžale, Stob, and Zgornje Domžale, Študa was amalgamated into Domžale in 1925, ending its existence as an independent settlement. A radio transmitter capable of broadcasting across Slovenia was set up in the meadow west of Študa in 1928.
