The former miners’ hospital

A hospital for miners dating from 1648

This is one of the village’s old historic buildings, in which a miners’ hospital was set up.

It was founded in 1648. It served as an emergency unit treating acute mining injuries, but it also cared for miners with long-term illnesses.

The hospital was never big enough and was always full of patients. In September 1878 it was moved to Banská Štiavnica.
