history

Roman Catholic Church of St. Michael

The place was first mentioned in writing as Vyhine in 1326 , but there are references to the place in 1256. The oldest brewery still in operation in Slovakia, which was founded in 1473, is located in the place. Vyhne was also a center of mining. Gold, silver and iron ore were mined and the iron ore also processed.

The place is also a former health resort. The spa with thermal springs (37 ° C) was founded in 1497 by the Schemnitz entrepreneur E. Rössl and was mainly used by the tusks, but it was also visited by the Prince of Transylvania Franz II. Rákóczi and the Hungarian writer Mór Jókai . The spa burned down in April 1945. Today there is an aqua park called Vodný raj Vyhne (literally "Vyhne Water Paradise") on the site of the bath . The national nature reserve Kamenné more (literally "Stone Sea") is located near the village .

A police detention camp for Jews willing to emigrate was set up in Vyhne, as part of the concentration camp, at the end of September 1939. In April 1941 the camp was converted into a labor camp . The Slovak Jews imprisoned there had to do forced labor , especially for construction work in the local state baths. Chemotechnical products were also manufactured later. In 1943 there were 343 male and 134 female forced laborers in the camp. The Vyhne camp existed until August 1944, when the prisoners were temporarily liberated in the Slovak National Uprising .

Districts

The district Vyhnianske Teplice was incorporated as early as 1808, the neighboring village Peserín after 1888. Banky belonged to the municipality from 1971 to 1998.
