History
The village arose by separation from Banská Štiavnica, but it was part of Banská Štiavnica again from 1873 to 1954. King Béla IV invited German miners from Banská Štiavnica and the village got the German name Dilln (Dyln, Dilln, Dylen). The village suffered from Turkish raids during the Ottoman wars.
