Culture

The first written mention of Kolačno dates from 1 June 1293 and refers to the place as “terra Kolechna”. The name itself also points to an older settlement history: Kolačno is associated with the medieval dialect word “kolešňa”. It referred to a place away from the mother settlement with temporary hay barns and animal pens.

A defining building in Kolačno is the reconstructed Roman Catholic Church of Saint Joseph the Worker. The first chapel in Kolačno was consecrated on 19 March 1912. The municipal museum displays a living room from the 1920s, a historic fire engine, tools for the production and processing of flax, and wedding attire. The municipal museum can be visited by prior arrangement.

In Ondrášová, a district of Kolačno, there is a monument to those who fell in the Slovak National Uprising, erected in 1973.
