The village of Hlboké

The first written mention of the village called Holbouk dates back to 1262. At first it belonged to the Hlohovec estate, from the end of the 13th century it was part of the Branč estate. Its last owners were the owners of the castle Korlátko.

The village is known for the parish in which Štúr, Hurban and Hodža enacted standard Slovak in 1843. Hlboké lies on the southeastern edge of the Myjava Uplands and the northeastern edge of the Záhorská lowland. The first written mention of the village dates from 1262. The picturesque village was in the past known for sheep and breeding horses. Hemp threads were made here. Today it has about 950 inhabitants. Hlboké became famous for the work of Jozef Miloslav Hurban, an Evangelical pastor, the first chairman of the SNR, a writer, poet, journalist and politician. The Evangelical parish where he worked and his memorial room with a new exhibition have been renovated in recent years. He lived in the village until his death in 1888. In the middle of the old cemetery stands its mound, the author of which is the architect Dušan Jurkovič. The dominant feature of the village is also the Evangelical church from 1787, whose current bells were brought in from Vienna in 1886.

In the 13th century, the village was known for breeding sheep, whose wool was of the highest quality in the wider area. In addition to sheep, excellent breeding horses were bred here. In Hlboky, knitted laces were traditionally made from hemp yarn. There were originally four small settlements on the territory of the current Hluboká district - Kratnov, Ropov, Hlovek and Chytkov, which disappeared in the following centuries. In 1715, the village had 16 serf and 38 jail households, more than a hundred years later there were 167 houses in the village, in which 1168 inhabitants lived. The fire that hit the village in 1863 caused a decrease in population, so in 1869 only 631 people lived here.
