Senica

History

Senica's history is closely related to Branč Castle, built in 1251–1261. It was first mentioned in 1256 and received its city privileges in 1396, confirmed in 1463 and 1492. The city was affected by Turkish wars, anti-Habsburg uprisings, and the Reformation and counter-reformations in the 17th century. In 1746, it became the seat of a district within Nyitra County.
