Lovinobaňa (up to 1927 Slovak "Lovinobáňa"; Hungarian Lónyabánya ) is a municipality in central Slovakia about 15 km north of Lučenec and 40 km southeast of Zvolen . It lies between the Stolické vrchy and Ostrôžky mountains in the valley of the Kriváň stream .
The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1336. In the Middle Ages, iron ores were mined in the village and its surroundings , until the end of the 17th century, 2 hammer mills were still working.
After the First World War, the place rose to a center for magnesite mining . The dismantling began in 1924, temporarily stopped in 1932 and resumed and expanded as part of the war economy.
Between 1938 and 1945 - while the previous district town of Lučenec was part of Hungary as a result of the First Vienna Arbitration , Lovinobaňa was the seat of a district.
In 1990 the southern village of Uderiná was incorporated and has been an official part of the municipality ever since.
The Protestant church from 1863 in the late classicist style is worth seeing; this was built in place of a Gothic church.
