The village of Kočín-Lančár

Based on the decision of the citizens of Kočín and Lančár in a referendum of 2 February 1991, the Government of the Slovak Republic merged the municipalities of Kočín and Lančár into one municipality and designated the name Kočín-Lančár with a new municipality with effect from 1 July 1991.

The village with more than 500 inhabitants has only a short history, as it was created by merging two separate municipalities after the referendum in 1991. Managing two parts of the village 700 meters apart is not easy, but previous experience confirms that it is possible. Among the most important cultural monuments of the village is the Church of St. Michal, archangel in Lančár, built on the site of a prehistoric fortified settlement. The church complex is surrounded by a stone wall with shooting ranges from the 17th century and a built-in tower - a bell tower. Slovak films were filmed at the church, Na kaňu klopajú, Kuruci do zbrane !, I judge you with love and others. There is a simple chapel in the area of the cemetery in Kočín, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lourdes. The folklore group Podhoranka, which has been presenting its program for more than 35 years, operates in the village. In 2011, the Trnava Regional Authority received a significant award for its lasting contribution in the field of culture. To this day, certain general events are also made more pleasant by the music group Borovienka, which was founded in Lančár.

Managing two parts of the village, 700 meters apart, is no small feat. It requires a lot of effort, perseverance, organizational skills and a lot of love for the inhabitants. Both municipalities have the same rights and obligations to public affairs. "Kočín and Lančár have a common municipal office, one mayor and a municipal council, which consists of three deputies from Kočín and three deputies from Lančár. We have two cadastral areas.

Over the years, we have managed to build something for the village. Extension of the local road in Kočín and Lančár, repair of municipal wells in both municipalities, complete reconstruction of the water supply pipeline of the municipal water supply in Kočín and Lančár, coverage of the 300 m long canal in Kočín, asphalting of playgrounds for children in both municipalities winter for skating, repair of the Church of St. Michal in Lančár, construction of a new electronic telephone exchange in 1997, when both municipalities were connected to a modern telephone system and the start of gasification on the basis of comprehensive documentation and a building permit. In 1995, the first steps to build a church began to be implemented in Kočín. In 1996, a geometric plan and elevation survey were made, and excavations of the foundations of the church began. Construction work continued in 1997-1999. In August 2000, the church was solemnly consecrated to the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
