[6] Vuzenica was first mentioned as a settlement in written documents dating to 1238, but archaeological evidence shows the area was settled much earlier as a Roman period burial ground has been found there.

[8] Anton Martin Slomšek (1800–1864) was a renowned Slovenian figure who served as a dean and parish priest in Vuzenica from 1838 to 1844.

Notable achievements by Slomšek include the construction of the Wallner Chapel, restoration projects of local buildings and cemeteries, and his contributions to education.

In addition, the museum space, partially reconfigured, serves as a library originally arranged by Slomšek and hosts cultural events.

[9] The parish church in Vuzenica is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor.
