history

Thanks to the rich copper and small iron ore deposits , Ľubietová was a center of medieval mining. The place was first mentioned in writing in 1379 when it was elevated to the status of a Royal Free City. In 1388 it is mentioned under the name Lubeta . In the 16th century, the town was one of the founders of the Free Mining Cities (with Banská Bystrica , Kremnica , Banská Belá , Banská Štiavnica , Pukanec and Nová Baňa ). As a result of the decline of the mining industry in the 18th century, Ľubietová was downgraded from a royal free town to a simple village. The mineral libethenite , discovered in 1823, is named after the German name of the community.
