Village of Laskar near Novaky, western Slovakia - displaced in 1990-ties due to coal mining industry.


History:
History of the village goes back to 13th century, however mentioned in official documents in 1419 for the first time. Laskar grew to middle-size village until year 1828 with 25 houses and 175 inhabitants, occupied mostly in agriculture. After 1918 they've been working in construction industry. In 1944 was village administratively connected to small town Novaky.

Today:
In early 90'ties, things started to change - the land was bought by mining company and houses pulled down - due to large reserves of coal under the ground. Only relics of settlements remain.
