Ostrá Lúka (Hungarian: Osztroluka) is a village and municipality of the Zvolen District in the Banská Bystrica Region of Slovakia.

History

In 2024, the remains of a medieval church dating from the 13th century was found at Ostrá Lúka. A geophysical survey revealed the church's floor plan, including its rectangular nave, presbytery, and sacristy added in the 14th century, as well as a crypt and later fortification wall that surrounded the church and cemetery.^[4]

Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Ostrá Lúka was part of Zólyom County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic.
