Culture

The Roman Catholic Kostol sv. Jána Krstiteľa church in Tajov is considered the oldest cultural and historical monument in the municipality. It was reconstructed in the 18th century in the Renaissance-Baroque style. The church tower houses the large bell of Saint Ignatius from 1771, as well as two younger bells from 1922.

At the Pamätný dom Jozefa Gregora Tajovského, an exhibition is dedicated to the history of Tajov and notable personalities from the municipality. The focus is on the literary connections between Jozef Gregor Tajovský and his wife, the writer and translator Hana Gregorová. The exhibition is located in the writer’s wooden birthplace. The entrance area of the Pamätný dom Jozefa Gregora Tajovského also contains a small exhibition about the inventor, painter and priest Jozef Murgaš, who came from Tajov.

History

The old Görgeyho Tunnel lies high in the Kremnica Mountains on a historic mining route between Kremnica and Banská Bystrica. From the Banská Bystrica side, the Görgeyho Tunnel can be accessed via a yellow-marked trail from the car park near the former Sokol or State Lodge above Tajov. Today, the tunnel serves as a popular passage for hikers and cyclists, as well as for cross-country skiers in winter.
