History
Part of the area is a Renaissance anti-Turkish fortification from the 17th century, which was built on the site of a prehistoric wall from the Late Iron Age. The defensive character of the fortifications is confirmed by the presence of shooting ranges, which are located in the front part at the entrance gate. After 1720, a prismatic tower and a gate were added in the southern part of the fortifications. The upper floor of the flood tower served as a bell tower, with the original bells from the 17th and 18th centuries with reliefs of the Virgin Mary and reliefs of St. Michael the Archangel was replaced in 1926 by new ones.

The lower floor was used as a chapel dedicated to the suffering Savior and later to John of Nepomuk. The chapel no longer serves its original purpose, nor does the smaller building next to the tower, which was most likely an ossuary.

Slovak films were shot in the grounds near the church: They knock on the mine, Chickens in arms !, I judge you with love and others. From the courtyard of the church there is a nice view of the surrounding villages of Piešťany, Hlohovec and Trnava.

Access to the historical monument is from the village Lančár, about 400m on the road leading from the lower Church of St. Joseph.
