Not long ago in the Upper Spis region, very important historical documents and artefacts documenting an important period of life in this region were discovered. The archive documents show that the oldest preserved Slovakian distillery from the latter half of the 18th century is situated in Stara Lubovna.

Further references to the distillery are given in the description of the Lubovna castle in the Hungarian-Austrian geographical dictionary from 1851. The base of the old distillery still stands below the castle. It is apparently the oldest preserved building of its kind in Slovakia! Clear evidence preserved from the 18th century documents that distilling is a centuries-old tradition in the region.
