The village of Stará Bystrica is located in the northwestern part of Slovakia. It is the home to the world's youngest astronomical clock.
During the reconstruction of the square, an astronomical clock was built in the village.
The astronomical clock has the shape of a stylized form of Our Lady of Sorrows, patron of Slovakia. It has been described as the largest wooden statue of Slovakia and its exterior is decorated by statues of important figures from Slovakia's history, such as Prince Pribina, King Svätopluk, Anton Bernolák, Ľudovít Štúr, Milan Rastislav Štefánik and Andrej Hlinka. Each hour, statuettes of saints related to Slovakia appear - Cyril, Methodius, Andrew-Zorard, Benedict, Gorazd, Bystrík and Adalbert.
The astronomical part of the clock consists of an astrolabe displaying the astrological signs, positions of the Sun and Moon, and the lunar phases. The clock is controlled by computer using DCF77 signals.
