Nature and Landscape

The unforested municipal area of Zádor comprises flat and hilly areas with pronounced terraces. The subsoil consists of marl, claystones, and sandstones covered by river deposits. Zádor is also located in the protection zone of the healing waters of the Číž spa.

The Akasztó Hora hill is located in the immediate vicinity of Zádor. In the wider regional surroundings are Mount Molnár, Mount Paláska, and Mount Köves-mál-tető. The three last-mentioned elevations therefore each belong to the wider regional surroundings, while Akasztó Hora is expressly assigned to the immediate vicinity.

Culture and History

The first written mention of Zádor dates from 1372. Historical names included Zadorhaza from 1372, Zádorčie from 1920, and Zádor and Zádorháza as the Hungarian name from 1927. The history of the settlement is thus also preserved in its changing forms of name.

Zádor was initially owned by the Széchy and Koháry families and later belonged to the Coburg family. In 1566, the Turks looted and devastated Zádor. The municipality was thereby required to pay tribute and supply food and wood.

The former manor house of the Szakáll family is considered noteworthy in Zádor.

Church History

A Reformed congregation already existed in Zádor in the 1560s and was affiliated with the congregation of Rimavská Seč. The first Reformed church in Zádor was built in 1882 and was used only until 1945 because of its poor condition.

Construction of the new Reformed church in Zádor lasted from 1943 to 1968. The Reformed church belongs to the Rimavská Seč congregation and the Gemer Reformed Seniorate.

The Reformed church is Zádor’s oldest monument and dates from 1968. Thus, the town’s ecclesiastical history includes a congregation already existing in the 1560s, the first church used until 1945, and the construction of the new church, which lasted from 1943 to 1968.
