For example, the well-known roundel - a circular structure - is located in Svodín. Recent history is registered by the village under the name Scheuden in 1156. Less than a hundred years later, German and Hungarian Svodín merged into one village. The village, awarded a European Diploma, is located in a picturesque corner of southern Slovakia west of the lower reaches of the Hron River and north of the Danube. On the cadastral border of both Svodíns is the dominant feature of the village - the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It is really an impressive Baroque building that stands out not only in size, but also in the interior with many statues and altars. The church is unmissable and is certainly the most distinctive and dominant building. The history of the village can also be learned in the local archeological museum with two expositions. The life of ordinary people in Svodín is mapped by the House of Folk Traditions. It opened in 2005 and documents the customs and customs of the 20th century. Svodín is currently one of the most important wine-growing areas and it would be a great pity not to taste the wine from one of the varieties grown here. White and red wines thrive here, because we are really in the very south of Slovakia.
That is why local gastronomy is a combination of Slovak and Hungarian cuisine. With the mentioned wine, it is really a culinary experience. This can be further enhanced during the traditional Days of Pála Pató. It is an international festival, in which the program is also attended by performers from partner cities - Tata, Hungary, Pińczów, Poland and Bystřice, Czech Republic.
