history
The place was first mentioned in writing in 1563 as Wuggawitz , other historical names are Buggowetz (1675) and Bukowec (1808). In the area there were iron and copper ore mines in the 16th and 17th centuries, which were owned by various entrepreneurs from Neusohl. From the 17th century a mill worked in the village.
In 1828 there were seven houses and 56 inhabitants, whose main sources of income were forestry, sheep farming and work in the surrounding ironworks. Bukovec was a settlement of Ráztoka until 1848 , after which it was independent until it was incorporated into the municipality of Svätý Ondrej nad Hronom (today Ondrej nad Hronom, part of the municipality of Brusno) in 1882.
Until 1918 the place in Sohl County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or today Slovakia. During the Slovak National Uprising in the course of World War II , there was a training camp for insurgents here. Shortly after its suppression, on November 3, 1944, Rudolf Viest and Ján Golian , both commanders-in-chief of the uprising, were captured by German Special Operations Command 14 and shortly thereafter brought to the Flossenbürg concentration camp . In retaliation, Bukovec was looted and burned on February 21, 1945.
After the end of the war, the village was rebuilt between 1946 and 1948 and gained independence again in 1953.
