History & geography

History

The village was first mentioned in the first half of the 13th century, when its original name was Bucha. Later, under Hungarian influences, the name changed to Bucs, then to Zólyóm Bucs. After 1918 it was Buča, and since 1928 it has been Budča. The first church was built in 1239 in the Gothic style. In the 16th and 17th centuries it was among the largest settlements in the region.[https://apsida.sk/c/1318/budca] Throughout its history Budča has been plagued by wars and rebellions: the Turks; the Bethlen, Tököly and Rakoczy insurrections; both World Wars of the 20th century; and the soldiers of the Hungarian Republic of Councils. The village has experienced other disasters, of which the worst in recent times was a fire in 1900. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Budča was part of Zólyom County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic. Uprisings forced the people to withdraw into the mountains, where they founded the settlement called Old Budča. After the threats passed, the population returned to their original village and Old Budča disappeared, but its traces can still be seen. Inhabitants of the village were also actively involved in the Slovak National Uprising (abbreviated SNP). Systems of education started early in Budča's history; from about 1239, religious education was reputedly taking place at the local pastorate. Journalist, educator, and raconteur Ľudo Zelienka taught there from 1940 to 1944. A new school was opened on 1September1964; the school was built primarily by the people of Budča themselves.
