History of Brezno

After the Second World War the town has developed into an industrial town with by far the largest share taken by a construction company: Mostaren Brezno which specialized itself with crane construction for whole Central Europe. In early '90s the construction company exited from business causing high unemployment in whole region. From late '90s Brezno built a large retail sector and promoted itself and whole region as a tourist destination where sports games and events such as Biathlon World cup or European golf cup are regularly held
