Cache vznikla pri prilezitosti 38. vyrocia zaniku obce.
Horne Opatovce (*1075 +1969) - obec nedaleko Ziaru nad Hronom, jedna z najvacsich a najstarsich obci v ziarskej kotline - uz nie je na mape. Ostal iba kostol.
Osud obce je plny utrap - pocnuc lupeznymi vpadmi sasovskych kastelanov, cez turecke nebezpecie, drancovanie povstaleckymi i cisarskymi vojskami v 17. a 18. storoci, mnohe poziare v obci, vystahovalectvo...
Tragediou obce bola stavba hlinikarne v jej bezprostrednom okoli v roku 1953. Splodiny zastaranej vyroby znemoznili zivot najprv vcelam, dobytku, stromom a nasledne sa zhorsoval zdravotny stav obyvatelov, rapidne klesala odolnost deti. Cierny popol (popolcek, fluorovodik, arzen, ortut) prikryval dedinu, ludi, prirodu. V roku 1960 vlada CSSR rozhodla o likvidacii obce a 31.7.1969 ju vyskrtla z mapy Slovenska.
Bolestny exodus 1380 obyvatelov z 228 domov trval takmer 10 rokov. Ludia sa stahovali podla skromnych nahrad za domy a podla zamestnania najma do Ziaru a Hlinika nad Hronom. Tak v mene doktriny industrializacie, ktora nerespektovala ekologicke, historicke ani moralne principy, zmizla jedna z najstarsich a najvacsich obci Ziarskej kotliny. Sest rokov po zaniku by bola oslavila svoje 900. vyrocie.
Na jej mieste medzi skladkami odpadu ako neliecena rana Opatovcanov vytrvalo stoji monument opusteneho kostola...
Okolita priroda dnes uz opat oziva. Opatovcania v roku 1995 postavili pamatnik ako miniaturu obce v mramorovej makete. V r. 2002-3 bola rekonstruovana strecha kostola Sv. Vavrinca - narodnej kulturnej pamiatky.
Cache sa nachadza na uvedenych suradniciach v blizkosti pamatnika a kostola.
