The village of Horné Mýto

0 ratings
The name of the village in the form of Wamus is in the list of the collector of the papal tithe from 1268. It is a derivative of the Hungarian name for a toll booth (vámos hely). Despite the fact that the village is mentioned relatively early, the exact date of its origin is unclear, because it is not even in the lists of guard posts.

The village of Horné Mýto

The name of the village in the form of Wamus is in the list of the collector of the papal tithe from 1268. It is a derivative of the Hungarian name for a toll booth (vámos hely). Despite the fact that the village is mentioned relatively early, the exact date of its origin is unclear, because it is not even in the lists of guard posts.

There were more villages with this name in old Hungary, so the Žitnoostrov toll booth was given the distinctive name Felső Vámos (Upper Mýto) and the toll booth in Szigetköz Alsó Vámos (lower toll, today Vámosszabadi), but until 1913 the village was called Vámosfalu.
In the portal census from 1553, Gašpar Serédy 4 and Michal Mérey own 3 ports from which they had to pay tax.
About Horní Mýto, it has been preserved that on February 23, 1683, the village was captured by three hundred Turks, who plundered and set it on fire, and dragged 104 of its inhabitants, who could not hide, into captivity.
Later, the Pálffy family became the owners of this village and its subjects (similarly to many other villages on Žitný ostrov). The village included the solitudes of Göbölmező-puszta and Holt-víz.
At the end of the 19th century, the Hornýťťany had to go to Trhová Hradská or Dolný Bar for almost everything. In 1938 the village had 790 Hungarian-speaking inhabitants and in 2012 cadastral jute land.
The church already mentions Pázmány's inventory as old, it probably existed as early as the 14th century, but it has long since succumbed to the ravages of time. The new Baroque church was built on its site in 1775 and in the 19th century it was rebuilt into a Classicist one.
In the years 1960–1990, Horné Mýto was merged with Trhová Hradská into a village called Trhové Mýto.
