Article Description

This article seeks to present the results of the geophysical survey of medieval Cistercian monasteries in Slovakia. The GPR and magnetometric survey of the former monastery in Spišský Štiavnik yielded new spatial data, on the basis of which it was possible to identify the individual parts of the monastery complex, including its economic hinterland. The other site investigated was Opatová, which is now part of Lučenec. The study of historical sources involves a discussion about the existence of a monastery and its order affiliation. There is now a cemetery on the site, which significantly limits research activities. Nevertheless, a GPR survey was carried out in accessible places and it probably detected remains of masonry.
