Holiday apartment in Ivanka pri Nitre – Culture and Leisure

Ivanka pri Nitre combines sacred architectural history, archaeological traces and various leisure destinations. Churches, archaeological sites, a greyhound racetrack, former gravel pits and LYRA Park represent different aspects of the locality.

Culture

The Church of Kostol sv. Martina is at the heart of the area’s sacred architectural history. It was built in 1769–1771 on the site of, or near, a medieval 14th-century church. The present tower was added in 1883 and leans 151 centimetres forward from its axis. Kostol sv. Martina is a cultural monument. Another historic church is Kostol sv. Benedikta, des Abtes: the late Renaissance building was constructed between 1616 and 1632.

Archaeology also gives Ivanka pri Nitre a distinctive character. The locality contains an archaeological site with a settlement from the Early Bronze Age. Archaeological finds also include an imperial crown belonging to the ruler Monomach and a gold coin. Archaeologists also discovered an Old Slavic settlement in Ivanka pri Nitre dating from the time of Pribina and Svätopluk.

One of the cemeteries in Ivanka pri Nitre contains the tomb of the Hungarian Interior Minister Viliam Tóth. Thus, the visible history of the locality includes not only churches and archaeological evidence but also a specific memorial site at one of the local cemeteries.

Leisure

For sporting activities, Ivanka pri Nitre has a nine-hole golf course. It was the first golf course of its kind in the Nitra region. Another distinctive feature of the locality is the greyhound racetrack located in Ivanka pri Nitre. It is approximately 200 metres from the stops for city bus route 12 and the intercity bus, and approximately 1,500 metres from the railway station.

In the south of the locality, the former gravel pits form a popular recreational area for the municipality’s residents, people from the surrounding area and anglers. The former gravel pits thus constitute the described recreational area in the south of Ivanka pri Nitre.

A specific connection with the locality can also be made by bicycle: a cycling tour from LYRA follows a marked cycle path through Ivanka pri Nitre and to LYRA Park. The route thus connects the locality with a named destination and follows a designated cycle path.
