Otrhánky: Hotel, Church and Local History

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Otrhánky stands on a hill at the edge of the village. It is located in a fenced, freely accessible area. An appointment must be arranged in advance to visit the church itself. Access to the grounds and visiting the church are therefore regulated differently.

Culture and History

The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary is believed to have originated in the 12th century. A revealed fresco of the holy archangel Michael can be seen inside the church. The church was built on the site of a long-disappeared fortified village, along an important road connecting the central Považie region with upper Nitra. Written records distinguish between the first indirect mention of Otrhánky in 1193 and the oldest direct mention in 1598. At that time, the place was referred to as Otrhané Zterce.
