This is an object which is registered in the national list of cultural monuments under the number ÚZPF 322-2605. This site is part of the historical mining environment that shaped the development of the region. The stiletto is an important part of the underground mine network, which was crucial for the extraction of ores in this area.
According to the official annotation of the Monument Office of the Slovak Republic, the area of this monument consists of one object, which is identified as a shed. The register does not include any additional buildings or details of their building availability, flooring or floor plan. Reading the available data suggests that it is a separate technical object that served to drain and transport material from the mine.

The monument is protected as a national cultural monument, which is the highest level of protection of cultural heritage in Slovakia. This protection ensures the preservation of the object for future generations and prevents its unauthorised interference. The exact date of declaration as a national cultural monument is not specified in the available registration data, as the details of the protection zone or conservation zone are not given. The current state of the building and its specific use, whether it is a museum presentation or only technical maintenance, are not further developed in the documents of the Monument Office.
The location of the shed is accessible in the cadastral area of Banská Štiavnica, specifically in the part Štefultov. The address designation of the object is the street of the Peace Defenders. This location is in line with the historical arrangement of mining settlements, where mining objects were located near former mining juices and processing facilities. Banská Štiavnica is famous for its rich mining heritage, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage, and Bieber's hereditary shed is one of the elements of this complex.
For the visitor this monument represents the opportunity to get to know the technical aspects of historical mining activities.

Looking at the entrance and construction, watch how human efforts to control the underground meet the power of nature. Although we do not know the names of architects or engineers, the way in which the stiletto is incorporated into the environment testifies to the skills of the builders. Watch how materials and shapes adapted to the demands of rock and the needs of miners. The construction shows how in the past it was able to penetrate depths and create functional and safe space.
Each such building is the result of the work of thousands of anonymous people. Imagine the miners who worked here. Every metre of this shed and every piece of rock taken was the result of their efforts in the dark and in the struggle with the natural forces. With their work, they laid the foundations for the prosperity of the region.
