History

Štilbach was founded in 1344 as the third mining town in the upper valley of Hnilca. According to the charter of 1338, the entire territory of Tiche Voda and its surroundings was declared a free mining town. In the surrounding mountains, the town was populated mainly with copper. In the years 1489 - 1527, honey was processed to process copper ore.

At the end of 1556, Štilbach was destroyed and the population was stolen by the soldiers of František Bebek, Mr Krásná Hôrka, who left the people who had rescued to the surrounding villages (Švedlár, Mníšek, Smolník) and the town disappeared. The remains of the victims were found during the construction of the church in the years 1888 - 1891. The new settlement of the territory of Štilbach began in the middle of the 18th century.

After the construction of the church, residents of both villages built a church school with a teacher's flat. However, a treaty between the hosts of Štilbach and Henkel about the establishment of the church school in Štilbach, on the terms of payment of the teacher of July 12, 1857, was maintained at the farmstead in Nálepkov.

In 1912 a narrow-rail railroad was built to move the sawmill wood to Vondišla (currently Nálepkovo). In 1925, the villages of Štilbach - Tichá Voda and Henclová were connected to one municipality, which was named Hencl
