The history of Patince

The area around village Patince is an important archeological locality: the first settlement Želiezovce was found in the Neolithic age. There was also an Eneolithic settlement with Canel Ceramics, it was a settlement and burial ground of Northern-Panonian culture from the Bronze Age, as well as Lathenian, Roman-Barbarian and Slavonic settlements from the times of Great Moravian Empire.

The first written data about village Patince are dated from the year 1268 („terra Poth“ – land, region Poth), in the year 1368 it is mentioned as „terra Poth“ as well as „terra Polth“. From the year 1444 it was named „possessio Path“ (homestead, village Path). From the year 1498 up to the year 1616, the rulers at this region were Pathys („de Path“), from the year 1498 up to the year 1716 Pošárs as well („Posar de Marczalhaza“), from the year 1662 also the Csajághy family. During the war times with Turks, the village was abandoned, but in the year 1576 was settled again. From the beginning of 18th century, village Patince became the property of Pálffy family, who built wide-ranging manor and in the first third of the 18th century settled the village again. In the first half of the 19th century, it was described as a wasteland near Danube, where the ruler was duke Anton Pálffy. Vast forest and an important pheasantry also belonged to the estate of Pálffy family at those times. In this period, 38 houses could be found there with 237 permanently residing inhabitants, who were of Catholic religion. At the beginning of the 20th century, it still wasn't an independent village, but a wasteland. It was joined together with today's village Šrobárová and the fields called Patkáňoš. These fields belonged to the village Marcelová. It has been an independent village since the year 1957.
