Kopernica (German: Deutschlitta; Hungarian: Barskapronca) is a village and municipality in Žiar nad Hronom District in the Banská Bystrica Region of central Slovakia.

Etymology

The name comes from koper (Slovak koper, kôpor: dill) + -nica. "The land where the wild dill grows".

History

The village belonged to a German language island, known as Hauerland. The German population was expelled in 1945.

In 1990, Poor Clares returned to the village and established a new monastery in the municipality.
