History & geography

History

In historical records, the village was first mentioned in 1293. From 1580 to 1657 it had to pay tributes to the Ottoman Empire. In 1588, it was besieged by Turks. A lignite mine existed near the village from 1892 to the beginning of the 20th century. In 1944, the local population joined the anti-Nazi Slovak National Uprising and Badín became the headquarters of the 2nd Czechoslovak paratrooper brigade. A Catholic seminary was present in Badín from 1805 until its closure by the Communist regime in 1950. The seminary was reopened in 1990, first at Slovenská Ľupča castle and since 1993 in a newly constructed building directly in Badín by the bishop Rudolf Baláž. The modern seminary was named after the Saint Francis Xavier. In 2003 the seminary was visited by the Pope John Paul II. In 2019, the seminary was closed due to low number of students. The remaining about 20 students were transferred to a seminary in Nitra. The newly built seminary complex was built in a modern style and its chapter was decorated by the mosaic produced by Marko Rupnik.
