History

The village was first mentioned in 1392, but the area was occasionally inhabited from the Late Stone Age.

Radiocarbon dating indices that construction activities were realized also in the turnover of the 9th/10th century. The hill fort consists of two parts, probably not built at once. The whole hill fort was protected by 3 meters high wall with a palisade on top and external ditch. An archeological research uncovered 114 graves from the Early Middle Ages, residential buildings, outbuildings, workshops and in particular, one of the largest collection of ceramics from the 9th century in Slovakia. Twenty large metal depots contained hundreds of old Slavic hrivnas (semifinished iron…
