The village of Komjatice

In 1573, the book printer Havel Husár founded the first printing house in Slovakia in Komjatice. And under the leadership of the Calvinists, there was already a school here at the end of the 16th century - as in one of the few villages in Ponitri.

The name of the village, originally Kamnati, comes from the word komnata. In the Middle Ages, it was a larger, well-equipped heated guest room. In the 13th century around 1256, when they are first mentioned in royal documents, Komjatice was a settlement with several heated, well-equipped houses on an important trade route along the Nitra River towards Nitra Castle. Centuries later, in the middle of the village, they already had a large market for the markets with a stone church in the middle. Together with the Church of St. Peter and Paul can still be admired today. Today, Komjatice is one of the largest Slovak municipalities with more than 4,200 inhabitants. The dead arms of Nitra and gravel pits will soon be even more sought after by tourists than now. Little Nitra, which the locals call Stará, surrounds almost the entire village. The Štrkáreň and Nová Štrkáreň water areas are used by people for swimming, fishing and water sports. Some places are filled with groundwater only "in wet years". As a scientifically significant protected Kňazova jama - Torozlín. It is a nature reserve with rare flora and fauna. Apart from it, there are not many places in Slovakia where the marsh turtle lives. And culture? As early as 1843, the first children's theatrical performance in Slovak was performed here under the direction of the comic priest Ondrej Caban. The first director in the gown is respected here and the local primary school is named after him.

Another famous Komjat clergyman, František Lörinczi, founded a Komjatsky singer who entered the history of religious choral singing throughout Hungary.
Komjatice remained true to the name - they are a room ready to welcome visitors and guests even today.
