Flag and CoA of Staré Hory are on this
website. Stare Hory is considered to be the oldest mining village in
surrounding area of
Banska Bystrica. There had also been discoveries of old stone tools
used for mining of the ore in the extracted mine waste. One of the most
important stages of development was reached around the time between the
15th and 16th century. During this period, a large smeltering plant
was built, this in return, caused more development such as the lumbering
of trees and the processing of coal. The village is situated at the Nizke
Tatry and the Velka Fatra junction. The center of the village lies elevated
at 472 meters above sea level. The village is well known for its production
of beautifully styled lace embroideries, which lace merchants peddled from
home to home all over the Austro-Hungarian region; their production and
distribution in the village still prevails to this present time
