According to some sources, its territory was inhabited as early as the beginning of the thirteenth century, when the original inhabitants built houses from slaughtered clay, covered with straw or cane. The first written mention dates from 1332. The village is mentioned under its current name. From its beginning, it belonged to the property of Komárno Castle. During Turkish rule, it was so devastated that it almost disappeared. According to the census from 1576, there were only nine habitable houses. After the end of the Turkish invasions, the village gradually became populated. Its development was mainly due to the count's Zichy family, who acquired it as a deed of gift in 1659. Miklós Zichy also took care of the reconstruction of the Catholic church, built in 1730, which thirty years later, as well as the whole village, was damaged by destructive earthquake. The Zichy family's work in St. Peter is still reminiscent of the manor house and the park with the legally protected plane tree, which was planted by Count Margita and her husband on the occasion of the birth of their daughter. The manor later served as a county house, where county assemblies were held. Today, the village of Svätý Peter is known mainly as a vine-growing region. The location of the village is extremely suitable for growing vineyards. It is surrounded on three sides by hilly terrain, on which the vineyard thrives.
