History of the Village of Kravany nad Dunajom

Description

From the history of the village

The village territory was already settled in prehistoric times; a Neolithic settlement with channelled pottery was found here. Archaeologists have also discovered a Bronze Age and Roman-era settlement. The village is first mentioned in 1268 under the name Karua. It belonged to the estate of Komárno Castle. In the 16th-17th centuries it was almost depopulated as a result of the Turkish wars. After the liberation, it was settled by a new population. In the 18th century, the village became part of Komárno County. In 1947, the village was renamed Kravany nad Dunajom. The village lies on the banks of the Danube and is known for its harbour, which was an important trading point on the Danube. Today, the village is a popular destination for cycle tourism and water sports.
