In 1941 and 1942, several Liberation Front groups from Makole and its surroundings connected with the Yugoslav Partisans in Maribor and Rogaška Slatina. In the summer of 1942, Axis forces discovered collaborators with the liberation movement, arrested them, shot 9 of them, and sent the rest to concentration camps. Near Makole, on February 6, 1945, Axis forces destroyed a Partisan courier station and killed 8 couriers.
Landmarks
The parish church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Andrew and belongs to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor. It is a Gothic building that was first mentioned in 1441.
