The first mountain chalet in this area was built in 1876 in Predné Meďodoly by the Hungarian Carpathian Association. It was later relocated to Zelené pleso (Green Lake), but unfortunately burned down three years later.
Construction of a new chalet at its present location began in 1894, and it officially opened on August 27, 1897. Originally named after Prince Friedrich, the chalet was further expanded after World War I.
Following World War II, the chalet became the property of the Czechoslovak Tourist and Ski Club and was managed by private operators until 1948, when it was nationalised. During this period, it underwent extensive renovation and expansion.
In 1950, the chalet was renamed Brnčalova chata in honour of Albert Brnčal. Some historical records also refer to it as Chata pod Jastrabou vežou (Chalet Below Jastrabia Tower).
In the following decades, central heating was installed, and the access road was improved to allow supplies to be delivered by off-road vehicles.
In 1992, the chalet returned to its original name, Chata pri Zelenom plese (Mountain Chalet by Green Lake).
Juraj Gantner also made a significant contribution to the chalet's development and maintenance over the years.
