The Kuruck uprising and especially the death of Dominika Ondrej Kounica ends the growth of Nové Kounice - as our village was called at that time. His son Oldřich Kounic was not interested in Nová Kounice, because the manor brought almost nothing, so on April 1, 1730 he sold it to the Kuruk general Alexander Károli de Nagy Károly. It was he who had the ravages of the Kounic estate in 1703-1710 as a Kuruk general.
The name of the village, Tót Megyer, first appears in writing in the archives of the Counts of Károli in 1725. Count Károly had a new mansion built on the site of the former manor house of Count Kounica. It was built in the late Baroque style and at the beginning of the 19th century it was rebuilt in the Classicist style. It has a U-shape. It originally had 90 rooms. Its exterior is a 52-hectare park. In May behind the park was a large workshop - a factory with steam engines. In 1820, the first whole iron plow in Hungary was produced in Meder. The Károli family worked in the village until 1945.
On August 1, 1948, the village of Slovenský Meder was renamed PALÁRIKOVO.
The village is rich in various sights. In accordance with the Act on the Protection of the Monument Fund, the Commission prepared the register of monuments. The already mentioned manor house, a wooden waterworks / a unique technical monument from 1861 / and the church of St. Ján Nepomucký from r. 1746 are registered in the Central List of Monuments in the Register of Immovable National Cultural Monuments.
