HISTORY The oldest Slovenian mining town lies in the basin at the confluence of the and the Nikova. Its development is closely connected to the discovery of mercury in 1490 and the development of the mine known as the second largest mercury mine in the world. 107,000 tons of mercury which equals 13 per cent of the world mercury production have been produced in the mine in Idrija. Since 1977 the mining has been gradually reduced and the mine closed. In the town itself many buildings still bear witness of the rich economic and cultural past of this place and also of the life style of the local population. The rich heritage of the mine, which, for economic reasons, knit many bonds with other mines throughout the world such as Almaden in .

The Case: town was attacked by the Ottomans in 1476. The town also suffered from plague and fires during this time. Peasant revolts occurred in Škofja Loka in 1488, 1492, and 1515. Škofja Loka was destroyed by an earthquake in 1511 but soon rebuilt through the efforts of Bishop Phillip. Lutheranism was established in Škofja Loka in 1526. Laws were passed against the new religion, and a Counter-Reformation committee was convened at the castle in 1601, resulting in the burning of Protestant books.

Much of the town was damaged by fires in 1660 and 1698. The defensive walls gradually became obsolete and were mostly removed together with the town gates in 1789. In 1803 the Prince-Bishopric of Freising was mediatised during the German Mediatisation and the enclave Municipality of Škofja Loka was annexed to the Austrian duchy of Carniola. Škofja Loka was the first town in Carniola OF ŠKOFJA LOKA to receive electric lights, even before the earthquake of 1895. FORUMS/COUNCILES & ASSOCIATIONS: www.skofjaloka.si ASSOCIATIONS and CLUBS

HISTORY The earliest relics of the past found in the area of the town are from the Roman era, Lenti first appears in written documents in 1237, though it was called Nemith in those days. However, the marshland fortification, built in the early 13th Century on islands in the flood plain of the Kerka River in the neighbourhood of the settlement, had much more significance as it was regarded as impregnable. King Béla IV seized the area from the then land-owner Buzád, so that, in 1275, the place was already known as the king’s hunting seat. The place became a market town in 1381. The fortress of Lenti was later besieged by the Turks on several occasions.

The Zalaegerszeg – Lenti – Csáktornya railway line, completed in 1890, brought remarkable economic growth to the town. The new border of Hungary defined by the Trianon Treaty was right next to Lenti which left Alsólendva, the chief town of the district, in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Therefore Lenti needed to overtake the governance of the area. The town became the chief town of the district in 1925, though, owing to the lack of the necessary institutions it was unable to fulfil the tasks of an administrative centre in a satisfactory manner until 1950. Industrialisation in the town started in the 1920s. In 1922 the Kerkavölgyi Faipari Rt sawmill was established which was the biggest company of the EU- Operativ program for West Transdanubia (NYDOP- Nyugat -Dunántúli operatív program) for region in those days. In 1923 a factory making coffee substitute was built. In 1924 a technical school, in development of outpatient specialized care in Lenti area with revitalization of the Ferenc Hetés 1928 a nursery school, in 1933 a higher elementary school and in 1938 a Catholic church school with four Polyclinic, period16.03.2009-28.02.2011. classrooms were opened in Lenti, which is by now the chief town of the district. After the Second World War Lenti did not see any major development until the 1960s when, based on a decision of county EU- Operativ program for West Transdanubia (NYDOP- Nyugat – Dunántúli operatív program) for level, the authorities sought to establish here the third industrial centre of Zala county. On January 1, development of health service in Lenti with renovation of No. I.-II. general practitional zone offices, 1979 Lenti was given the status of a town and at the same time three communities, Bárszentmihályfa, period 01.10.2010 – 31.08.2011. Lentikápolna and Máhomfa were attached to it and the town has developed rapidly since then. EU- Operativ program for West Transdanubia ( NYDOP - Nyugat- Dunántúli operatív program) for development of thermal bath, period 01.08.2014 - 30.11.2015.
