Holiday apartment in Ľudovítová – fish ponds and Baroque history

Ľudovítová is located in the southeastern part of the Nitrianska loess hills, on a small elevation on the right bank of the Nitra. The municipality covers just under 188 hectares and extends across both sides of the river. The history of the village includes archaeological traces, a Baroque chapel, a manor house with a park, and fish ponds whose origins are closely connected with the Nitra.

Landscape and water

The fish ponds of Ľudovítová were created by separating and artificially damming former channels of the Nitra. They are considered a popular destination for anglers and also serve a recreational purpose. For fishing, the Ľudovítová municipal office issues fishing permits immediately upon oral request. The ponds are therefore part of both the village’s landscape history and the explicitly mentioned activities on the water.

Plot No. 198 contains a multifunctional sports field with artificial turf, fencing, and boards for ball games. A children’s playground is also located there. Both facilities are used for activities by residents and visitors. The short cycle route 5114 from Podhorany via Mechenice ends in Ľudovítová after 3.5 km.

Culture and history

A prominent building is the Chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua in Ľudovítová. It is a Baroque chapel built in 1773, with a rectangular floor plan, a semicircular apse, and a roof turret. On 13 June, the feast day of Saint Anthony, solemn services and the local patronal feast take place in Ľudovítová.

The manor house is also part of the village’s history. It dates from the 18th century, initially belonged to the Nyárki family, and later, until 1950, to the Ghylányi family. A park of just under 2 hectares, with trees from Europe and overseas, extended around the manor house.

Another historical memorial stands at Torokmezo (Turecké pole), on the boundary between Ľudovítová and Výčapy-Opatovce. A Turkish Cross is located there as a reminder of the defeat of the Turks.

South of the cemetery chapel lies the Telkek archaeological site: it is situated on a rise in the terrain 250 metres south of the building. Excavations at Telkek uncovered several pottery fragments from the Neolithic and Eneolithic Maďarovce culture. The site adds a view of a significantly earlier period to the more recent architectural and local history.
