Old Town Hall in Banská Belá

A reminder of Banská Belá’s days as a free mining town

The former town hall was probably built in 1590.

On the ground floor is a vaulted hall that served as a guardroom for the town police and led to the town gaol.

The upper floor has two spacious rooms, which were most likely used as offices by the town council. Even after the Second World War, they housed a branch office of the municipal authority and later a post office.

Today the building stands empty, uninhabited and badly dilapidated.
