Chorvátsky Grob – Hotels, Nature and Local History

Chorvátsky Grob combines nature, local history and local traditions. The Šúr National Nature Reserve extends into the cadastral area of Chorvátsky Grob. It covers 991 ha and protects a wetland with rare flora and fauna, as well as the remains of an original swampy alder forest with peat bog.

Nature

The “Prírodné klenoty Šúru” educational trail is 4.1 km long and has six stations. It runs mostly through Panónsky háj and ends at a road in Chorvátsky Grob, in the Čierna Voda district.

Culture

The Roman Catholic Church of “Christ the King”, dating from 1589, is part of the local history. It was built in 1589 through the reconstruction of an older late Gothic religious building. The church contains a statue of the Virgin Mary from the second half of the 18th century and a monstrance from the early 16th century. The Chapel of the Most Holy Trinity dates from 1880. The Svätý Jur estate provides another historical connection: in the mid-16th century, it settled Croatian colonists in Chorvátsky Grob.

Traditions

The Chorvátska izba contains historical and ethnographic exhibits and presents examples of local handicrafts and traditions. The local folklore ensemble Chorvatanka celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2024. The town’s clothing history has also been preserved: a winter bridal outfit from Chorvátsky Grob dates from the beginning of the 20th century. The winter bridal outfit consists of a blue wool skirt, a green bodice and a long mentieka. The tradition of making Slovenskogrobské lace continues to this day.

Activities
