Discover Kvetoslavov

Kvetoslavov brings together historic architectural styles with archaeological and agricultural traces. If the character of a place matters when choosing where to stay, Kvetoslavov offers several perspectives across time: buildings in Uzor and Fakov belong to different periods, while archaeological evidence reaches back to early settlement. Together, they create a picture that is not limited to a single building or architectural style.

A chapel and manor houses in Uzor and Fakov

The Roman Catholic Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in the district of Uzor was built in 1883 in the Neo-Romanesque style, with Neo-Gothic elements. It has a single nave, a polygonal apse, and a small built-in turret. Single-nave describes a layout with one main nave; a polygonal apse refers to the many-sided shape of the end of the building. The chapel also contains a Baroque painting of the Madonna of the Rosary from the late 18th century. The building and the painting therefore belong to different periods.

A manor house stands at the end of the district of Fakov, toward Uzor: Fridrich Pongrácz had it built in the late 19th century in the Neo-Baroque style. Its original form was preserved during restoration; the wooden veranda was replaced with an iron one. In the southeastern part of Uzor stands an early Baroque summer manor house from the early 18th century. The two-storey building has an L-shaped floor plan. The restoration in Fakov and the clear floor plan in Uzor also create distinct architectural accents.

Memorial sites and archaeological traces

A war memorial erected in 1925 stands in the park on the square in the district of Uzor. A plaque bearing the names of the victims of the Second World War was added later. The wayside shrine “Božia muka,” at the bend in the side road to Šamorín, dates from the second half of the 19th century; its semicircular niche contains a Pietà. A war memorial with a plaque added later and a wayside shrine with a religious motif thus differ in both form and content.

Archaeological finds reach further back in time. A Roman-period Barbarian settlement was discovered in the cadastral area of Kvetoslavov; the oldest evidence of human presence is considered to be a small stone wedge from the Neolithic period. The historical perspective therefore encompasses not only buildings but also much earlier traces of settlement. The wedge belongs to the Neolithic, while the settlement represents a later archaeological period.

Agricultural history and the railway station

Two aspects of local agricultural history are worth noting: a vegetable seed breeding station was established in Kvetoslavov in 1949, and the blue kohlrabi variety “Kvetoslavovský” bears the name of the town. The station represents seed production; the kohlrabi variety incorporates the town’s name into the name of a specific vegetable. Kvetoslavov railway station was built in 1895, twelve years after the Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Uzor.
