Slovenská Ľupča is the largest village in the Banská Bystrica District of central Slovakia.

A favorite residence of the influential noble Magister Donč, Slovenská Ľupča was elevated to a town by Charles I in 1340.

The development of the village in the 20th century was connected with the large pharmaceutical factory Biotika built in 1953.

Ľupča Castle (Slovak: Ľupčiansky hrad) was built in the Middle Ages to protect an important trade route along the Hron river.

It was a favorite hunting resort of King Béla IV, who signed the royal town privileges of Banská Bystrica in the castle in 1255.

From the Gothic details, windows with stone treads, a cross vault with ornate consoles and studs, and a non-gothic pastorphony were preserved in the church.

Around the year 1618 the annexation of the Tribell funeral chapel was built on the north side of the church.
