Abstract
A medieval castle and its technical facilities from the 12th–17th centuries connected with the mining and processing of ores of precious metals have been investigated on a hill above the town of Banská Štiavnica. In 2009–2012 a ground plan of a chapel with dimensions of 8 × 3.5 m was revealed on the site, dated with the use of multiple and distinct fragments of architectural elements to the 14th century. Analysis of carbon samples from a window sill by means of the carbon dating method was carried out in 2012, placing the decline of the chapel in the mid-15th century. This information fully corresponds to archive records concerning a military attack on the town in 1442.
