History
In historical records the first mention of the town is from 1236, Though the exact date the town was formed is unknown. The territory of the town is enriched by an old monastery (Mariačalád) built in 1512 which served during most of the later medieval age and was in the patronage of monks of the Paulin order. The monastery consisted of two towers built over the church and the monks housing. Its library is also worth mentioning, for the fact that it held over 1100 books, but in 1784 they were transferred to Budin (present day Budapest). The monastery along with the order were canceled by Joseph II. The monastery was passed on to the town's owner. Until 1899 the town had two separate parts Velký Lót and Malý Lót. But due to a catastrophic fire the whole town was destroyed, it then changed the name and was known under the new name Lót. From 1938–1945 the town was a part of Hungary due to border changes in World War II. After the war the name changed to the final Veľké Lovce.
