history

The church of Črna was first mentioned in 1137 as a branch church of St. Michael ob Bleiburg . In 1616 the village became an independent parish. Mining began in this region around 1665. The lead and zinc mine is one of the oldest of its kind in the Alpine region. The tunnels reach a length of almost 1000 km. The place belonged to the Duchy of Carinthia until 1918 (hence the Slovenian name Carinthia in the name) in Austria-Hungary , then to the SHS state (Yugoslavia). Since 1991 it has been part of the independent Slovenia.

Since 2013 there has been a partnership with the Croatian island and municipality of Šolta .
