Holiday apartment in Kozelník: cultural monument and cycling route

The freestanding Baroque bell tower in Kozelník was built in the 18th century on a hilltop between the houses. In 1963, the bell tower was listed as a national cultural monument in the Central Register of Monuments.

Culture and history

The historical traces in Kozelník can be seen in buildings, boundary markers and a former ironworks operation. The late Baroque coaching inn in Kozelník was built in the 1790s. In the 18th century, the historic coaching inn served as a post station for changing the horses of stagecoaches. Its construction period and former function therefore represent two clearly identifiable aspects of this building.

A boundary stone in Kozelník marks two historical borders: between the Hont and Zvolen counties and the end of the so-called Terra banensium, that is, the Banská region. The historic iron hammer in Kozelník served as a supporting ironworks operation for the Banská Štiavnica mining area. Both local features refer to different historical contexts that are connected with specific names in Kozelník.

The church in Kozelník also has an unusual form: the church is shaped like a small boat. The mast of the church in Kozelník is shaped like a double cross. Thus, the two distinctive details refer to different parts of the same building.

Cycling

The Štiavnická Anča cycling route runs through Kozelník from the centre of Banská Štiavnica to Hronská Breznica. The route is also suitable for less well-trained cyclists. Its route therefore names both the starting point in the centre of Banská Štiavnica and the destination in Hronská Breznica, and explicitly runs through Kozelník between them.

In the village

The coaching inn stands in the western part of the village on the main road below the forest. The access road and the area around the bell tower in Kozelník were repaired in 2026. Both references concern specific areas within the village: the location of the historic inn and the road and surroundings around the bell tower.
