It is mentioned as Alba Ecclesia in the years 1332-1337, later it was called possessio Feyrhegyház 1387 and Weissenkirche 1934. Matej Bel first etymologized the name of the village: Bily Kostol - Slovaks call the village Bily Kostel from the whiteness of the church, which once shone before. In 1561 Alba Alba Ecclesia deserta - Bily Church was abandoned. The reason for the devastation of the village was the camping of the Spanish army. When King Ferdinand donated the established village in 1548 to Tomáš Tóth and his descendants, it is mentioned only as a mayor with a pond. In 1635, the Jesuit order founded the Trnava University and chose the White Church as their recreation zone. At that time, in addition to the chapel, there were seven houses in the White Church with about thirty permanent residents. The newly acquired property began to increase. They also built a Jesuit residence (manor house) and established a small farm. During the reign of Maria Theresa 1740-1780, the White Church was not a proper village during this period, and the population living here was mostly day laborers working on Jesuit property. In 1773, the Jesuit order was abolished and property changes were included. The White Church was released in 1775 to Anton Brunšvik, a favorite of Maria Theresa. In 1828, a census of the tax-paying population was made, where a total of 37 inhabited houses and a total of 43 families lived in them. At the beginning of the nineties, the owner and several farm buildings belonged to Július Schlesinger, who, together with his wife, also inhabited the local manor house. He owned almost all the land in the area. In the period 1914 - 1948, the village of Biely Kostol experienced a boom. One of the main goals of the inhabitants was to build a church, which, due to its name, was paradoxically missing in the village. The church was completed in 1941. After the war, after the land reform in 1948, the mayor was assigned to state property and later it was given to the local JRD, which was one of the first in the district and even throughout Slovakia.
