history
The place was mentioned for the first time in 1340 as Topliche . The Hronský Beňadik abbey had a curia and a mill in the place, while the place belonged to the Šášov manor. In the 14th century it was a lumberjack settlement, where residents supplied the wood to the Shemnica mines. A glassworks was founded here in 1350 to produce chemical glass for the discovery of gold and silver in the mined ore. This glassworks was probably closed in the 17th century. After that, a smelter was established to separate gold and silver from the ores, but this fell away at the end of the 18th century. With the abandonment of the hut, the population oriented itself towards agriculture and medicinal baths that have been in use since the 16th century. The place also became known through the work of Ignaz von Born , who contributed significantly to the preparation of the first international scientific congress in 1786. In the same year, the world's first scientific society for mining ("Societät der Bergbaukunde", 1786–91) was founded.
Until 1918 the place was in Persch County within the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to the newly formed Czechoslovakia .
