Holiday apartment in Svodín: Archaeological Museum, churches and folk traditions

Culture and history

The Archaeological Museum in Svodín has two exhibitions that present the history of the municipality, from the Neolithic period around 4800 BC to the time of the Turkish wars in the 17th century, using unique archaeological artefacts. It is housed in a typical old farmhouse with three rooms and presents the results of archaeological research in Svodín. The Busahegy exhibition documents the research conducted by Doc. PhDr. Viera Němejcová-Pavúková from 1971 to 1983 and the discoveries through which the site was classified as a site of worldwide significance. The second exhibition presents the results of the archaeological research into St Michael’s Church in the Maďarský Svodín district from 1995 to 2000 and in 2004.

The House of Folk Traditions in Svodín opened on 14 October 2005 and is an external exhibition of the Jána Thaina Museum in Nové Zámky. The house displays a trough used for kneading dough; bread was also stored there. The object thus preserves a specific detail of the traditional way of life in Svodín.

Churches

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Svodín was built from 1792 to 1799 in the Louis XVI style and consecrated in 1801. It is in very good condition and continues to serve its intended purpose. A considerably older building phase, now lost, is represented by the twin-towered St Michael’s Church in Svodín: it dated from the middle of the 13th century and was destroyed in 1945.
