History & geography

History

The first written mention of the village dates back to 1113, when the name of the village as Gimes appeared in the Zobor Documents of the Zobor Benedictine monastery. There are several theories about the origin of the village name, the most probable of which claims that it is formed from the word "gím" which means deer. According to a later transcription of a document from 1226, the Hungarian king Andrew II donated the village to Ivánek of the Hunt-Poznanov family. His son Andrew, who received the village in 1253 for saving Bela IV.'s life in the fight against the Tatars, had a castle built on Dúň hill.
