Welcome to the historical centre of Štiavnické Bán. You are standing in front of the building of the mining office and the mining administration, which in the past served as the administrative centre of local mining. Its functional character reflects the report on raw materials from local shafts. Here strategic decisions were taken, the mining and expenditure of precious metals was recorded, and the work of thousands of miners was guided.
Although the exact chronology of construction and the names of architects are not specified in the records, the complex tells about the organization Štiavnické Bán. During the period of mining boom, the mining office provided order in this mining area. This is where officials, engineers, and inspectors came in to get compliance in the ducts and to record the revenues correctly.
The facade of the building expresses authority and efficiency. Unlike the surrounding churches or noble residences, it is focused not on luxury, but on work and discipline. The building confirms that Štiavnické Bane formed a complex system that required precise leadership.
Thousands of officials came through this space who wrote the data into finished books. Here it was decided on the fate of mining families, the allocation of new developers and investment in technologies to increase the efficiency of mining. Any signature could mean opening a new shaft or changing the management of the whole territory.
The mystery remains the exact moment when the building took its present form and what changes have been made over the centuries. The details you see are the result of adaptation to the needs of the mining administration. Inside the building, documents, maps and plans were passed that allowed controlled underground production.
The Mining Authority recalls that behind the success of mining has been ongoing administrative work and planning.

Štiavnica Bane - the mysterious past and fascinating today
Long before the baby Juro was born in the world, people in the Banská Bystrica region lived on gold and silver. That was about 1754 - exactly 272 years ago! These people worked here as in the magic forest, where every tree could be a source of precious metals.

Seasonal recommendations
In the spring in Štiavnické Banách, the snow and meadows melt. The surroundings of the administrative building of the mining office operate peacefully, morning fog gives him a mysterious atmosphere. The air is fresh. For walks we recommend solid, non-promoting shoes due to wet paths and layered clothing for variable mountain weather.
Summer months are characterized by lush vegetation and shade of old trees along historical roads. Nature contrasts with the dark stone of mining structures. During sunny days a pleasant breeze blows from the mountains. Early hours are suitable for photography exteriors of the building. We recommend light breathable shoes, head cover and drinking water. The building does not offer internal visitor routes or guide services.
On the yen leaves turns color into yellow, orange, and brown. The administrative building of the Mining Office combines with a country that occasionally masks cold afternoon cold colds. Lowering the level of light creates long shadows. Since the temperature drops sharply, especially after dark, it is necessary to wear a warm jacket, scarf, and cap.
Winter are Štiavnické Bane covered with snow, are seen smoking chimneys and frozen water areas. The building of the mining office stands out in contrast with the white landscape. There is peace in the region in December and January. Since it is almost dark, an outdoor tour is appropriate in the morning. Into snow and frost we recommend winter shoes with anti-slip irritation, gloves and non-skimming clothing because the interiors are unavailable all year round.
